fa2a94198c76126434e575483adb24e98f6fc6067b9bede81d1fab17552eb3e5Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-2573-02 - The glibc packages provide the standard C libraries, POSIX thread libraries, standard math libraries, and the name service cache daemon used by multiple programs on the system. Without these libraries, the Linux system cannot function correctly. Security Fix: A stack overflow vulnerability was found in _nss_dns_getnetbyname_r. On systems with nsswitch configured to include "networks: dns" with a privileged or network-facing service that would attempt to resolve user-provided network names, an attacker could provide an excessively long network name, resulting in stack corruption and code execution.

A local attacker could use this to gain administrative privileges or expose sensitive information.

An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (infinite loop). Various other issues were also addressed.
