CVE-2014-8121

CVE-2014-8121 affects the GNU C Library (glibc/eglibc) NSS backend: DB_LOOKUP in nss_files/files-XXX.c can loop indefinitely when a file is being iterated, by not properly checking if the database file is open. This can lead to a denial of service. The affected line of code is in the NSS file bac...
