NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glibc-common package and not the glibc-common package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
Integer overflow in the _IO_wstr_overflow function in libio/wstrops.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.22 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to computing a size in bytes, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
