This CVE record is not being prioritized for NVD enrichment efforts due to resource or other concerns.
Current Description
Multiple integer overflows in the (1) GC_generic_malloc and (2) calloc functions in malloc.c, and the (3) GC_generic_malloc_ignore_off_page function in mallocx.c in Boehm-Demers-Weiser GC (libgc) before 7.2 make it easier for context-dependent attackers to perform memory-related attacks such as buffer overflows via a large size value, which causes less memory to be allocated than expected.

Múltiples desbordamientos de entero en las funciones (1) GC_generic_malloc y (2) calloc en malloc.c y en la función (3) GC_generic_malloc_ignore_off_page en mallocx.c en Boehm-Demers-Weiser GC (libgc) en versiones anteriores a 7.2 hace que sea más fácil para atacantes dependientes de contexto realizar ataques relacionados con la memoria tales como desbordamientos de búfer a través un valor de gran tamaño, lo que provoca que se asigne menos memoria de los esperado.
