CVE-2010-3192 Information

Description

Certain run-time memory protection mechanisms in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) print argv[0] and backtrace information which might allow context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory by executing an incorrect program as demonstrated by a setuid program that contains a stack-based buffer overflow error related to the __fortify_fail function in debug/fortify_fail.c and the __stack_chk_fail (aka stack protection) and __chk_fail (aka FORTIFY_SOURCE) implementations.
