USN-2485-1: GNU C Library vulnerability

It was discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the gethostbyname and gethostbyname2 functions in the GNU C Library. An attacker could use this issue to execute arbitrary code or cause an application crash, resulting in a denial of service...

glibc: __nss_hostname_digits_dots() heap-based buffer overflow

A heap-based buffer overflow was found in glibc's nsshostnamedigitsdots function, which is used by the gethostbyname and gethostbyname2 glibc function calls. A remote attacker able to make an application call either of these functions could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the...

PT-2015-1000

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions glibc versions 2.2 through 2.17 Description The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the nss hostname digits dots function in glibc, which can be exploited via the gethostbyname or gethostbyname2 functions. This vulnerability ma...

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...

ESXi 5.1 < Build 2323236 Third-Party Libraries Multiple Vulnerabilities (remote check) (BEAST)
