Description
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 configurations
• csilvers gperftools (<= 0.3)
• csilvers gperftools 0.1
• csilvers gperftools 0.2
