UBUNTU-CVE-2016-5417

Memory leak in the resvinit function in the IPv6 name server management code in libresolv in GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 before 2.24 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service memory consumption by leveraging partial initialization of internal resolver data structures...

The vulnerabilities of the library that provides system calls and core functions in glibc allow a malicious actor to cause a service failure or execute arbitrary code.

Multiple vulnerabilities exist in the functions senddg and sendvc of the libresolv module’s library, which provides system calls and core functions for the glibc library. These vulnerabilities allow a malicious actor to trigger service failures or execute arbitrary code through a specially crafte...
