What is CVE-1999-0199?

The GNU C Library (glibc) prior to version 2.2 contains a vulnerability associated with documentation related to the tdelete function. This oversight means that if developers utilize this function without being aware of the documentation updates, it may lead to the potential exposure of a dangling pointer. This situation creates a security risk as attackers could exploit this weakness, impacting applications that rely on the glibc. Developers need to check their versions and any reliance on the tdelete function to mitigate risks.
