by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-33601 advisory.

  - nscd: netgroup cache May terminate daemon on memory allocation failure The Name Service Cache Daemon's
    (nscd) netgroup cache uses xmalloc or xrealloc and these functions May terminate the process due to a
    memory allocation failure resulting in a denial of service to the clients. The flaw was introduced in
    glibc 2.15 when the cache was added to nscd. This vulnerability is only present in the nscd binary.
