CVE ID:CVE-2013-4788
Description:The PTR_MANGLE implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.4, 2.17, and earlier, and Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) does not initialize the random value for the pointer guard, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to control execution flow by leveraging a buffer-overflow vulnerability in an application and using the known zero value pointer guard to calculate a pointer address.
Test IDs: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.4.2015.0551.1   1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.4.2013.1852.1   1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.1.2.2015.165   1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.4.2014.1122.1   1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.4.2013.1854.1
