Package name glibc
Date August 13th, 2002
Advisory ID MDKSA-2002:050
Affected versions 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, CS1.0
Synopsis Updated glibc packages fix buffer overflow

Problem Description

A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the way that the glibc
resolver handles the resolution of network names and addresses via DNS
in glibc versions 2.2.5 and earlier. Only systems using the "dns"
entry in the "networks" database in /etc/nsswitch.conf are vulnerable
to this issue. By default, Mandrake Linux has this database set to
"files" and is not vulnerable. Likewise, a similar bug is in the
glibc-compat packages which provide compatability for programs compiled
against 2.0.x versions of glibc.
