High
| Vector | AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
glibc versions 2.15 and later
Description
The Name Service Cache Daemon's (nscd) netgroup cache can corrupt memory when the NSS callback does not store all strings in the provided buffer. The flaw was introduced in glibc 2.15 when the cache was added to nscd. This issue can lead to a denial of service.
Recommendations
For glibc versions 2.15 and later, consider disabling the netgroup cache in nscd as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the nscd binary to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the NSS callback with in-buffer strings in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
