Positive Technologies (AI Summary)

CVSS v2.0

5.1

Medium

Base vector

AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions glibc versions prior to 2.15

Description The issue allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by an internationalized domain name to ping6. This is related to the getaddrinfo function when compiled with libidn and the AI IDN flag is used.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.15, update to version 2.15 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of the AI IDN flag with the getaddrinfo function until a patch is available.
