CVE-2020-27618: Medium severity ibm security verify access oidc provider vulnerability

Published Feb 26, 2021
·
Updated

GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when processing some invalid inputs from several IBM character sets in the iconv function. By sending invalid multi-byte input sequences in IBM1364, IBM1371, IBM1388, IBM1390, IBM1399 encodings, a local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to enter into an infinite loop.

Other sources

The iconv function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.32 and earlier, when processing invalid multi-byte input sequences in IBM1364, IBM1371, IBM1388, IBM1390, and IBM1399 encodings, fails to advance the input state, which could lead to an infinite loop in applications, resulting in a denial of service, a different vulnerability from CVE-2016-10228.
