CVE-2020-1752

A use-after-free vulnerability introduced in glibc upstream version 2.14 was found in the way the tilde expansion was carried out. Directory paths containing an initial tilde followed by a valid username were affected by this issue. A local attacker could exploit this flaw by creating a specially crafted path that, when processed by the glob function, would potentially lead to arbitrary code execution. This was fixed in version 2.32.

Updated glibc packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Trigonometric functions on x86 targets suffered from stack corruption when they were passed a pseudo-zero argument. Reported by Guido Vranken / ForAllSecure Mayhem. [BZ 25487] (CVE-2020-10029).

Fix use-after-free in glob when expanding ~user [BZ 25414] (CVE-2020-1752)

This update for glibc fixes the following issues:

• CVE-2020-1752: Fixed a use after free in glob which could have allowed a local attacker to create a specially crafted path that, when processed by the glob function, could potentially have led to arbitrary code execution (bsc#1167631).

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.

These are all security issues fixed in the glibc-2.34-1.2 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.
