CVEID:
CVE-2015-8778
DESCRIPTION:
GNU C Library (glibc) could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code
on the system, caused by an integer overflow in hcreate and hcreate_r. An
attacker could exploit this vulnerability to trigger an out-of-bound memory
access and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to
crash.
