Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2021-01-05 17:04:35 UTC 
The iconv feature in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.32, when processing invalid multi-byte input sequences in the EUC-KR encoding, may have a buffer over-read.

Comment 24 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2021-02-23 10:04:15 UTC 
Statement:

This flaw has been rated as having moderate impact for glibc packages shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux because, the maximum impact of this vulnerability is a crash, and it relies on processing untrusted input in an uncommon encoding (EUC-KR).  When this encoding is not used, the vulnerability can not be triggered.
