Description

Buffer overflow in the gethostbyname_r and other unspecified NSS functions in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.22 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS response, which triggers a call with a misaligned buffer.

Affected Systems

  • debian•glibc

    < 2.19-20 | < 2.19-20 | < 2.19-20 | < 2.19-20
