This occurs because the per-thread cache (aka tcache) feature enables a code path that lacks an integer overflow check." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "n/a" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22375", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22375" }, { "name": "https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;h=34697694e8a93b325b18f25f7dcded55d6baeaf6", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;h=34697694e8a93b325b18f25f7dcded55d6baeaf6" } ] } }
