glibc: buffer overflow in gethostbyname_r() and related functions with misaligned buffer

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way glibc's gethostbynamer and other related functions computed the size of a buffer when passed a misaligned buffer as input. An attacker able to make an application call any of these functions with a misaligned buffer could use this flaw to crash the...

Buffer overflow

Buffer overflow in the gethostbynamer and other unspecified NSS functions in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 before 2.22 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service crash or execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS response, which triggers a call with a misaligned buffer...
