CVE-2006-7252 (CCN-77215)

Assigned:2006-08-13
Published:2006-08-13
Updated:2012-07-26
Summary:Integer overflow in the calloc function in libc/stdlib/malloc.c in jemalloc in libc for FreeBSD 6.4 and NetBSD makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to perform memory-related attacks such as buffer overflows via a large size value, which triggers a memory allocation of one byte.
