Summary

Details:

The GNU C library (glibc) had these vulnerabilities:

CVE-2015-7547: a buffer overflow in client DNS lookups (getaddrinfo) that might allow malicious client connections from networks with malicious DNS servers to cause crashes or other harmful effects in server software to which these clients connect. This might affect servers (for example, SSH) that do DNS lookups on clients connecting to them. Malicious client connections from networks with malicious DNS servers can create the overflow conditions.

CVE-2015-5229: the calloc() function might return a pointer to memory that is not filled with zero bytes.

Fix:

We have upgraded glibc to a version that fixes CVE-2015-7547 and CVE-2015-5229.

Recommendation:

Upgrade the software to a version with this fix.  If this is not possible, avoid placing appliances on networks exposed to untrusted DNS clients.
