The issue relates to a potential crash in the `nscd` client when calling Name Service Switch (NSS)-backed functions that support caching via `nscd` under high load on x86 64 systems. The `nscd` client in the GNU C Library uses the `memcmp` function with inputs that may be concurrently modified by another thread. An optimized implementation of `memcmp` introduced in the GNU C Library version 2.36 for x86 64 could crash when invoked with such undefined behavior, leading to a potential crash of the `nscd` client and the application using it. This implementation was backported to the 2.35 branch, making it vulnerable as well. The issue stems from the use of the `memcmp` function on concurrently modified data, which can lead to spurious cache misses or, in the case of the optimized implementation, a crash.
