glibc: Stack (frame) overflow in getaddrinfo() when processing entry mapping to long list of address structures

It was found that getaddrinfo did not limit the amount of stack memory used during name resolution. An attacker able to make an application resolve an attacker-controlled hostname or IP address could possibly cause the application to exhaust all stack memory and crash...
