Security Bulletin

Summary

GNU C library (glibc) vulnerability that has been referred to as GHOST 
affects IBM WebSphere Cast Iron Solution.
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 
hostname 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.
