| Name | CVE-2010-4756 |
| Description | 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. |

Notes
That's standard POSIX behaviour implemented by (e)glibc. Applications using
glob need to impose limits for themselves
