Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2015-01-28 06:50:44 UTC 
An Invalid-free() flaw was found in the getaddrinfo() syscall of glibc. The bug only materializes if the getaddrinfo functions is called with
the AI_IDN flag, and if glibc has been compiled with libidn support. 

This flaw was fixed in glibc-2.15 via the following commit:
