Summary
CVE-2015-20109 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting the GNU C Library (glibc or libc6) prior to version 2.22.

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by employing a specially crafted pattern with the fnmatch library function, leading to an application crash and resulting in a denial-of-service condition. This vulnerability is distinct from CVE-2015-8984, with some Linux distributions addressing the latter issue but not yet this additional fnmatch vulnerability.
