About this blog

Hacking techniques include penetration testing, network security, reverse cracking, malware analysis, vulnerability exploitation, encryption cracking, social engineering, etc., used to identify and fix security flaws in systems.

GNU glibc is prone to an remote integer-overflow vulnerability.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running an application that uses the affected library.
