[Bug libc/13656] New: vfprintf nargs integer overflow


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13656

             Bug #: 13656
           Summary: vfprintf nargs integer overflow
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
        ReportedBy: kees@outflux.net
    Classification: Unclassified


The nargs value can overflow when doing allocations, and argument-based offsets
are not bounds-checked, allowing arbitrary memory writes via format strings,
bypassing _FORTIFY_SOURCE protections:
