Improper resource allocation - Buffer overflow In glibc

Description

The deprecated compatibility function svcunix_create in the sunrpc module of the GNU C Library (aka glibc) through 2.34 copies its path argument on the stack without validating its length, which may result in a buffer overflow, potentially resulting in a denial of service or (if an application is not built with a stack protector enabled) arbitrary code execution.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
