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...

RHEL 7 : glibc (RHSA-2015:2199)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:2199 advisory. The glibc packages provide the standard C libraries libc, POSIX thread libraries libpthread, standard math libraries libm, and the Name Serv...

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...

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : glibc (MDVSA-2015:218)

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in glibc : It was discovered that, under certain circumstances, glibc's getaddrinfo\ function would send DNS queries to random file descriptors. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to send DNS queries to unintended recipients, resultin...

virtio-blk: heap buffer overflow caused by unaligned requests

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the virtio-blk driver hw/virtio-blk.c in qemu-kvm 0.14.0 allow local guest users to cause a denial of service guest crash and possibly gain privileges via a 1 write request to the virtioblkhandlewrite function or 2 read request to the virtioblkhandleread...
