A flaw was found in glibc. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted input during SHIFT_JISX0213 to UCS-4 text conversion. This crafted input can cause the application to repeatedly emit a buffered code point without consuming further input, leading to persistent retry churn. This can result in a denial of service (DoS) for callers converting untrusted text.
