Advisory Updated Date: 2019-11-22 03:22 Pacific
Severity:
Medium
References:
CVE-2016-10739
Issue Overview:
In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.28, the getaddrinfo function would successfully parse a string that contained an IPv4 address followed by whitespace and arbitrary characters, which could lead applications to incorrectly assume that it had parsed a valid string, without the possibility of embedded HTTP headers or other potentially dangerous substrings. (CVE-2016-10739)
Affected Packages:
glibc
Issue Correction:
Run yum update glibc to update your system.
