| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in the glibc library. Passing an excessively large alignment value to the memalign suite of functions, such as memalign, posix_memalign, aligned_alloc, valloc and pvalloc, an integer overflow can occur during internal size calculations due to improper overflow checks, causing an allocation of a small chunk of memory which is subsequently used for writing. This issue can result in an application crash or heap memory corruption.
