Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
AIX (affected versions not specified)
Solaris (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the "gethostbyname" library call, which can be exploited through corrupt DNS host names to gain root access.
Recommendations
For AIX, update to a version that includes a fix for the buffer overflow in the "gethostbyname" library call.
For Solaris, update to a version that includes a fix for the buffer overflow in the "gethostbyname" library call.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting DNS host name parsing to minimize the risk of exploitation.
