CVE-2005-4895: Csilvers Gperftools

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Multiple integer overflows in TCMalloc (tcmalloc.cc) in gperftools before 0.4 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.

Affected products

• Csilvers Gperftools: up to and including 0.3; version 0.1 only; version 0.2 only
