Action	Type	Old Value	New Value
Removed	CVSS V2	Red Hat, Inc. (AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
Changed	Description	Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were found in glibc's memory allocator functions (pvalloc, valloc, and memalign). If an application used such a function, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
