Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-07-23 00:55:45 UTC 
CVE-2021-35942:

The wordexp function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc) through 2.33 may crash or read arbitrary memory in parse_param (in posix/wordexp.c) when called with an untrusted, crafted pattern, potentially resulting in a denial of service or disclosure of information. This occurs because atoi was used but strtoul should have been used to ensure correct calculations.

Unreleased patch: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=5adda61f62b77384718b4c0d8336ade8f2b4b35c
