CVE-2010-3192: Infoleak
Certain run-time memory protection mechanisms in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) print argv[0] and backtrace information, which might allow context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory by executing an incorrect program, as demonstrated by a setuid program that contains a stack-based buffer overflow error, related to the fortifyfail function in debug/fortifyfail.c, and the stackchkfail (aka stack protection) and chkfail (aka FORTIFYSOURCE) implementations.
