Last modified

CVE-2014-9761 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the (1) nan, (2) nanf, or (3) nanl function.. EPSS estimates a 5.51% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
