CVE reference:CVE-2002-1146


Description:
MandrakeSoft has released an updated package for glibc. This fixes an old vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) on a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error. The problem happens when looking up IP addresses, since the actual size of the DNS response is not checked. The maximum buffer size is used instead, which can cause the stub resolver to read past the allocated boundary potentially resulting in a DoS.
