What is CVE-2010-3192?
CVE-2010-3192 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Gnu Glibc, published on 12 Oct 2010. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Certain run-time memory protection mechanisms in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) print argv[0] and backtrace information, which might allow context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory by executing an incorrect program, as demonstrated by a setuid program that contains a stack-based buffer overflow error, related to the __fortify_fail function in debug/fortify_fail.c, and the __stack_chk_fail (aka stack protection) and __chk_fail (aka FORTIFY_SOURCE) implementations.
