Doc Text:
A flaw was found in glibc. An out-of-bounds array write vulnerability exists within the `tdelete` function. This issue occurs due to incorrect management of array sizes, which can lead to memory corruption. A local attacker with low privileges could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service or disclose sensitive information.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-25 06:50:00 UTC
misc: Fix out-of-bounds array write in tdelete (bug 34506)
    
    Allocate the maximum array sizes directly, instead of resizing
    the arrays as needed.  This eliminates alloca usage from the
    function, and fixes the out-of-bounds accesses.  The asserts
    guard against the bug coming back if the balancing of the tree
    turns out not to work correctly.
