Comment 2 Carlos O'Donell 2013-04-03 14:42:16 UTC

We are aware of this bug and looking at it upstream.

http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-04/msg00060.html

Comment 3 Carlos O'Donell 2013-04-09 21:59:11 UTC

The application stack overflow results in a crash but requires poisoning DNS. We will wait for a more thorough upstream review and test before fixing this in all of Fedora.

Given the low priority we will fix this as required in Fedora.

If anyone has an objection to this plan of action please speak up with comments about why this should be higher than low priority and low severity.
