Summary Security Advisory ID : BSA-2016-003 Component : glibc Revision : 1.0 N/A...

The vulnerability of the glibc library, which allows a hacker to cause a service failure or execute arbitrary code

The vulnerability of the libresolv component in the glibc library is related to multiple buffer overflows in the senddg and sendvc functions. Exploiting this vulnerability allows an attacker to cause service failures or execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted DNS requests that trigger...

ESXi 5.5 < Build 3568722 / 6.0 < Build 3568940 glibc DNS Resolver RCE (VMSA-2016-0002) (remote check)

The remote VMware ESXi host is 5.5 prior to build 3568722 or 6.0 prior to build 3568940. It is, therefore, affected by a stack-based buffer overflow condition in the GNU C Library glibc DNS client-side resolver due to improper validation of user-supplied input when looking up names via the...

SA114 : GNU C Library (glibc) Remote Code Execution February 2016

SUMMARY Blue Coat products using an affected version of the GNU C Library glibc are susceptible to a remote execution attack. A remote attacker can send a crafted DNS response to the glibc DNS resolver and cause the resolver to crash or execute arbitrary code. AFFECTED PRODUCTS The following...
