K51079478: glibc vulnerability CVE-2015-8778
Security Advisory
Original Publication Date: Apr 08, 2016
Updated Date: Dec 14, 2018
Security Advisory Description
Integer overflow in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allows
context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code via the size argument to the __hcreate_r
function, which triggers out-of-bounds heap-memory access. (CVE-2015-8778)
Impact
There is a theoretical risk of an exploit by a user with local shell access. F5
has been unable to reproduce the vulnerability using proof of concept code.
Security Advisory Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 578983 (BIG-IP), CPF-19112 (Traffix
SDC), and ID 476571 (ARX) to this vulnerability, and has evaluated the
currently supported releases for potential vulnerability. Additionally, BIG-IP
iHealth may list Heuristic H51079478 on the Diagnostics > Identified > Low
page.
