Default Serious glibc, the GNU C library, vulnerability

From https://threatpost.com/critical-glib...t-risk/116261/

Quote:
The flaw, CVE-2015-7547, is a stack-based buffer overflow in the glibc DNS client-side resolver that puts Linux machines at risk for remote code execution. The flaw is triggered when the getaddrinfo() library function is used, Google said today in its advisory.
