glibc-rh182253.patch

This should hopefully fix it, it is not really a backport, since hstcache.c
was almost rewritten a few days before the corresponding patch has been
committed.  With this patch, we should only cache using request key as being
passed from the client, rather than cache also with the reverse mapping and all
aliases and IP{,v6} addresses associated with it as other keys.

Comment 7 Bob Johnson 2006-04-11 16:05:09 UTC
This issue is on Red Hat Engineering's list of planned work items 
for the upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.8 release.  Engineering 
resources have been assigned and barring unforeseen circumstances, Red 
Hat intends to include this item in the 3.8 release.
