A crash was found in the IBM930 decoding: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14134 https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=6e230d11837f3a Florian Weimer noted: "...out-of-bounds reads at a fixed offset relative to the data segment of a DSO, and in all cases I've seen, they were right in the middle of an unmapped segment of the same DSO. This means that these bugs are just crashers, but they can still result in denial-of-service conditions." This issue has been fixed in version 2.16. The fix is included in Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and 7. Reference: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q3/466 Statement: Not vulnerable. This issue does not affect the versions of glibc in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, or 7.
