CVE-2011-1095

Publication date 9 April 2011

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

locale/programs/locale.c in locale in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.13 does not quote its output, which might allow local users to gain privileges via a crafted localization environment variable, in conjunction with a program that executes a script that uses the eval function.
