Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-7547)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The weakness exists due to stack-based buffer overflow in in the (1) send_dg and (2) send_vc functions in the libresolv library. A remote attacker can use a crafted DNS response that triggers a call to the getaddrinfo function with the AF_UNSPEC or AF_INET6 address family, related to performing "dual A/AAAA DNS queries" and the libnss_dns.so.2 NSS module, cause memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

2) Double free error (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-0705)

The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to double-free error when parsing DSA private keys. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.
