UBUNTU-CVE-2016-3075

Stack-based buffer overflow in the nssdns implementation of the getnetbyname function in GNU C Library aka glibc before 2.24 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service stack consumption and application crash via a long name...

glibc: getaddrinfo stack-based buffer overflow

A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the way the libresolv library performed dual A/AAAA DNS queries. A remote attacker could create a specially crafted DNS response which could cause libresolv to crash or, potentially, execute code with the permissions of the user running the library. Note...

GNU C Library Name Service Switch Privilege Bypass Vulnerability

GNU C Library is an open source, free C compiler released under the LGPL license. A security vulnerability in the 'getcontents' function in the nssfiles/files-XXX.c file in the Name Service Switch NSS of the GNU C Library allows a local attacker to exploit a specially crafted NSS file database to...

DEBIAN-CVE-2015-5277

The getcontents function in nssfiles/files-XXX.c in the Name Service Switch NSS in GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 before 2.20 might allow local users to cause a denial of service heap corruption or gain privileges via a long line in the NSS files database...

Heap overflow

The getcontents function in nssfiles/files-XXX.c in the Name Service Switch NSS in GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 before 2.20 might allow local users to cause a denial of service heap corruption or gain privileges via a long line in the NSS files database...

glibc: data corruption while reading the NSS files database

It was discovered that the nssfiles backend for the Name Service Switch in glibc would return incorrect data to applications or corrupt the heap depending on adjacent heap contents. A local attacker could potentially use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the system...

glibc: denial of service

It was found that the files backend of Name Service Switch NSS did not isolate iteration over an entire database from key-based look-up API calls. An application performing look-ups on a database while iterating over it could enter an infinite loop, leading to a denial of service...
