Amazon Linux AMI : glibc (ALAS-2015-513)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way glibc's gethostbynamer and other related functions computed the size of a buffer when passed a misaligned buffer as input. An attacker able to make an application call any of these functions with a misaligned buffer could use this flaw to crash the...

glibc: getaddrinfo() writes DNS queries to random file descriptors under high load

It was discovered that, under certain circumstances, glibc's getaddrinfo function would send DNS queries to random file descriptors. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to send DNS queries to unintended recipients, resulting in information disclosure or data loss due to the application...

musl: arbitrary code execution

A stack-based buffer overflow has been found in musl libc's ipv6 address literal parsing code. Programs which call the inetpton or getaddrinfo function with AFINET6 or AFUNSPEC and untrusted address strings are affected. Successful exploitation yields control of the return address. Having enabled...
