USN-8737-1 fixed vulnerabilities in GNU C Library. This update provides the corresponding fixes for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Original advisory details: It was discovered that GNU C Library had a buffer overflow in the strfmon function when handling right-justification padding. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. ( CVE-2026-19499 ) It was discovered that GNU C Library had an out-of-bounds stack array access in the tdelete function. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. ( CVE-2026-19542 ) It was discovered that GNU C Library incorrectly handled memory when calling wordexp with the WRDE_APPEND flag. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (
