Golden Frog glibc Addressing vulnerability -

It was reported that there is a vulnerability in glibc, an open source library. As described by Ars Technica, "The vulnerability was introduced in 08 in the GNU C Library, a collection of open source code that powers thousands of standalone applications and most Linux distributions, including those distributed with routers and other equipment. a feature called getaddrinfo () that performs domain name lookups contains a buffer overflow bug that allows attackers to remotely execute malicious code. It can be exploited when vulnerable devices or applications make requests to attacker-controlled domain names or domain name servers or when exposed to man-in-the-middle where the opponent has the ability to control and manipulate data passing between a vulnerable device and open Internet. All versions of glibc after 2.9 are vulnerable. "
