DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2017-02-17 CVE-2016-5417 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in GNU Glibc
Memory leak in the __res_vinit function in the IPv6 name server management code in libresolv in GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.24 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by leveraging partial initialization of internal resolver data structures.

gnu CWE-399
7.5
2016-10-07 CVE-2016-6323 Improper Access Control vulnerability in multiple products
The makecontext function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.25 creates execution contexts incompatible with the unwinder on ARM EABI (32-bit) platforms, which might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (hang), as demonstrated by applications compiled using gccgo, related to backtrace generation.

2016-06-10 CVE-2016-3706 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
Stack-based buffer overflow in the getaddrinfo function in sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors involving hostent conversion.

2016-06-01 CVE-2016-3075 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
Stack-based buffer overflow in the nss_dns implementation of the getnetbyname function in GNU C Library (aka glibc) before 2.24 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and application crash) via a long name.

2016-06-01 CVE-2016-1234 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
Stack-based buffer overflow in the glob implementation in GNU C Library (aka glibc) before 2.24, when GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC is used, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long name.

2016-02-18 CVE-2015-7547 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the (1) send_dg and (2) send_vc functions in the libresolv library in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via 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.
