| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in glibc (GNU C Library). The deprecated functions ns_printrrf, ns_printrr, and fp_nquery do not properly validate the length of RDATA (Resource Record Data) in a DNS (Domain Name System) response when processing specific record types like LOC, CERT, TKEY, or TSIG. A remote attacker could craft a malicious DNS response, leading to a target application crashing or reading uninitialized memory. These functions are intended for application debugging and are not part of the standard DNS resolver path.
