    Package : eglibc
    CVE ID : CVE-2014-5119

    Tavis Ormandy discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in the
    transliteration module loading code in eglibc, Debian's version of the
    GNU C Library. As a result, an attacker who can supply a crafted
    destination character set argument to iconv-related character
    conversation functions could achieve arbitrary code execution.

    This update removes support of loadable gconv transliteration modules.
    Besides the security vulnerability, the module loading code had
    functionality defects which prevented it from working for the intended
    purpose.

    For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.13-38+deb7u4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your eglibc packages.
