Bug description:
An integer overflow, leading to buffer overflow flaw was found in the
way the implementation of strcoll() routine, used to compare two
strings based on the current locale, of glibc, the GNU libc libraries,
performed calculation of memory requirements / allocation, needed for
storage of the strings. If an application linked against glibc was
missing an application-level sanity checks for validity of strcoll()
arguments and accepted untrusted input, an attacker could use this
flaw to cause the particular application to crash or, potentially,
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
application.
