**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** glibc (affected versions not specified) **Description** The issue is a stack-based buffer overflow in the getaddrinfo function, which can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a crash. This is achieved through vectors involving hostent conversion. The problem exists due to an incomplete fix for a previous issue. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
