Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2020-05-02 21:42:17 UTC
CVE-2020-1752 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-1752):
  A use-after-free vulnerability introduced in glibc upstream version 2.14 was
  found in the way the tilde expansion was carried out. Directory paths
  containing an initial tilde followed by a valid username were affected by
  this issue. A local attacker could exploit this flaw by creating a specially
  crafted path that, when processed by the glob function, would potentially
  lead to arbitrary code execution. This was fixed in version 2.32.
