- Summary
- CVE-2023-4806 affecting package glibc for versions less than 2.35-6
- Details
-
A flaw has been identified in glibc. In an extremely rare situation, the getaddrinfo function may access memory that has been freed, resulting in an application crash. This issue is only exploitable when a NSS module implements only the nssgethostbyname2r and nssgetcanonnamer hooks without implementing the nss*gethostbyname3r hook. The resolved name should return a large number of IPv6 and IPv4, and the call to the getaddrinfo function should have the AFINET6 address family with AICANONNAME, AIALL and AIV4MAPPED as flags.
