CVE-2024-33602 describes a memory corruption vulnerability in the Name Service Cache Daemon (nscd) within the GNU C Library (glibc), specifically affecting its netgroup cache. This flaw, introduced in glibc 2.15, occurs when the NSS callback fails to store all strings in the provided buffer, leading to memory corruption. The vulnerability is rated High severity (CVSS 7.4) due to its potential for high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, with a low attack complexity, though it requires local access. There is no known active exploitation, public exploit code, or Metasploit/Nuclei modules, but it has garnered some community discussion and media coverage.
