| Summary: | The glibc package in some Linux distributions could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by improper bounds checking of DNS (Domain Name System) response messages. By sending a malformed DNS response to a vulnerable server, a remote attacker could cause the server to possibly leak sensitive information, which could then be used by the attacker to launch further attacks against the affected server. | ||||||
