| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in glibc (the GNU C Library). When an application uses the `gethostbyaddr` or `gethostbyaddr_r` functions with a `nsswitch.conf` configuration that specifies glibc's DNS backend, a remote attacker can send a specially crafted DNS (Domain Name System) response. This crafted response can cause the application to incorrectly interpret a non-answer section of the DNS response as a valid answer, leading to potential misbehavior or incorrect information processing.
