The glob implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via crafted glob expressions that do not match any pathnames, as demonstrated by glob expressions in STAT commands to an FTP daemon, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2632.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-4756 is an availability issue in glibc's glob pattern matching. A remote authenticated user could submit specially crafted glob expressions that consume excessive CPU and memory, potentially making a service unavailable. The bundle specifically mentions FTP daemon STAT commands as an example path. Most relevant exposure is services that pass user-controlled glob patterns into glibc glob(), especially FTP services allowing STAT-style glob expressions. The bundle does not identify specific affected products or versions. Prioritize review for externally reachable FTP or file services where availability matters. This is not described as code execution, but resource exhaustion can still disrupt business services. Mitigation focus: Identify systems using glibc/libc6 with FTP or similar glob-processing services.; Check operating system and appliance vendor advisories for patched glibc/libc6 packages.; Restrict or disable user-controlled glob processing where supported by the service..
