Security Advisory Description
Stack-based buffer overflow in the getaddrinfo function in sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors involving hostent conversion. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-4458. (CVE-2016-3706)
Impact
BIG-IP and BIG-IQ software contains the vulnerable code; however, the BIG-IP and BIG-IQ systems do not use the vulnerable code in a way which exposes the vulnerability in a standard configuration.
