PowerKVM is affected by a vulnerability in glibc. IBM has now addressed this vulnerability.
CVEID: CVE-2016-3075**
DESCRIPTION:** GNU C Library (glibc) is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the nss_dns implementation of the getnetbyname function. By sending an overly long string, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
