Description
Problem Description: A programming error in the standard I/O library's __sflush() function could erroneously adjust the buffered stream's internal state even when no write actually occurred in the case when write(2) system call returns an error. Impact: The accounting mismatch would accumulate, if the caller does not check for stream status and will eventually lead to a heap buffer overflow. Such overflows may lead to data corruption or the execution of arbitrary code at the privilege level of the calling program.
