    CVE-2005-4895

    Published: 25 Jul 2012Last Modified: 10 Apr 2026

    Summary:

    Details: 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.
