(libm), and the name service cache daemon (nscd) used by multiple programs on
the system. Without these libraries, the Linux system cannot function correctly.

Security Fix(es):

  * A stack overflow vulnerability was found in _nss_dns_getnetbyname_r. On
systems with nsswitch configured to include 'networks: dns' with a
privileged or network-facing service that would attempt to resolve
user-provided network names, an attacker could provide an excessively long
network name, resulting in stack corruption and code execution.
(CVE-2016-3075)

This issue was discovered by Florian Weimer (Red Hat).
