Arnaud Le Blanc discovered that the GNU C Library incorrectly handled file descriptors when resolving DNS queries under high load. This may cause a denial of service in other applications, or an information leak. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2013-7423)

It was discovered that the GNU C Library incorrectly handled receiving a positive answer while processing the network name when performing DNS resolution. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the GNU C Library to hang, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2014-9402)

Joseph Myers discovered that the GNU C Library wscanf function incorrectly handled memory. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the GNU C Library to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.10. (CVE-2015-1472, CVE-2015-1473).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
