CVE-2005-4895

Publication date 25 July 2012

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Description

Multiple integer overflows in TCMalloc (tcmalloc.cc) in gperftools before 0.4 make it easier for context-dependent attackers to perform memory-related attacks such as buffer overflows via a large size value, which causes less memory to be allocated than expected.
