GNU C Library (glibc) __nss_hostname_digits_dots() function vulnerable to buffer overflow

Overview The nsshostnamedigitsdots function of the GNU C Library glibc allows a buffer overflow condition in which arbitrary code may be executed. This vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2015-0235, and is referred to in the media by the name "GHOST". Description According to Qualys, the...

Debian DSA-3142-1 : eglibc - security update

Several vulnerabilities have been fixed in eglibc, Debian's version of the GNU C library : - CVE-2015-0235 Qualys discovered that the gethostbyname and gethostbyname2 functions were subject to a buffer overflow if provided with a crafted IP address argument. This could be used by an attacker to...

GNU glibc Remote Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

GNU glibc is an implementation of the C library for the Linux operating system. GNU glibc suffers from a remote heap buffer overflow vulnerability that can be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of an affected application...

GNU C Library gethostbyname Buffer Overflow (CVE-2015-0235)

A buffer overflow vulnerability, known as GHOST Vulnerability, exists in GNU C Library function. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by providing crafted input to an application that uses this vulnerable function. Successful exploitation could result in code execution in the context ...

Critical GHOST vulnerability affects most Linux Systems

A highly critical vulnerability has been unearthed in the GNU C Library glibc, a widely used component of most Linux distributions, that could allow attackers to execute malicious code on servers and remotely gain control of Linux machines. The vulnerability, dubbed "GHOST" and assigned...

Linux "Ghost" Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

The Linux GNU C Library glibc versions 2.2 and other 2.x versions before 2.18 are vulnerable to remote code execution via a vulnerability in the gethostbyname function. Exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to take control of an affected system. US-CERT recommends users a...

Updated glibc packages fix security vulnerabilities

The vfprintf function in stdio-common/vfprintf.c in GNU C Library aka glibc 2.5, 2.12, and probably other versions does not "properly restrict the use of" the alloca function when allocating the SPECS array, which allows context- dependent attackers to bypass the FORTIFYSOURCE format-string...
