MIME-Version: 1.0

Synopsis: Critical: glibc security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2015:0092-1
Issue Date: 2015-01-27
CVE Numbers: CVE-2015-0235
--

A heap-based buffer overflow was found in glibc's
__nss_hostname_digits_dots() 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 permissions of the user
running the application. (CVE-2015-0235)
