Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2015-0235
DESCRIPTION:
The gethostbyname functions of the GNU C Library (glibc) are vulnerable to a
buffer overflow. By sending a specially crafted, but valid host name argument,
a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the
system with the privileges of the targeted process, or cause the process to
crash. The impact of an attack depends on the implementation details of the
targeted application or operating system. This issue is being referred to as
the "Ghost" vulnerability.
