(CVE-2021-31870) It was discovered that klibc did not properly handled some memory allocations on 64 bit systems. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-31871) It was discovered that klibc did not properly handled some file sizes values on 32 bit systems. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-31872) It was discovered that klibc did not properly handled some memory allocations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-31873)
