[SECURITY] [DLA 494-1] eglibc security update

Package : eglibc
Version : 2.13-38+deb7u11
CVE ID : CVE-2016-1234 CVE-2016-3075 CVE-2016-3706

Several vulnerabilities have been fixed in the Debian GNU C Library,
eglibc:

CVE-2016-1234

Alexander Cherepanov discovered that the glibc's glob implementation
suffered from a stack-based buffer overflow when it was called with the
GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC flag and encountered a long file name.

CVE-2016-3075

The getnetbyname implementation in nss_dns was susceptible to a stack
overflow and a crash if it was invoked on a very long name.

CVE-2016-3706

Michael Petlan reported that getaddrinfo copied large amounts of address
data to the stack, possibly leading to a stack overflow. This complements
the fix for CVE-2013-4458.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
2.13-38+deb7u11.

We recommend you to upgrade your eglibc packages.
