CVE ID: CVE-2015-1473

Description: The ADDW macro in stdio-common/vfscanf.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.21 does not properly consider data-type size during a risk-management decision for use of the alloca function, which might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation violation) or overwrite memory locations beyond the stack boundary via a long line containing wide characters that are improperly handled in a wscanf call.

Test IDs: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.703169 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.1.2.2015.165
