    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pine Internet Security Advisory ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advisory ID : PINE-CERT-20020601 Authors : Joost Pol <joostpine.nl> Issue date : 2002-06-25 Application : Multiple Version(s) : Multiple Platforms : FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, maybe more. Availability : http://www.pine.nl/advisories/pine-cert-20020601.txt -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Synopsis

    There is a remote buffer overflow in the resolver code of libc.

    Impact

    Serious.

    Exploitability will vary on application-specific issues.

    Description

    There is a slight mistake in the resolver code of libc.

    This will allow an attacker-controlled DNS server to reply with a carefully crafted message to (for example) a gethostbyname request. This reply will trigger the buffer overflow

    Solution

    FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD CVS have been updated. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (SunOS)
