Subject: Re: GHOST gethostbyname() heap overflow in glibc
(CVE-2015-0235)
Hi,
the german IT news webpage heise mentions this: back in April 2014
Chrome OS applied the patch:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/overlays/chromiumos-overlay/+/7738d06627941a2119ba15f3472320c5cecc7be6%5E!/#F0
The comit message clearly states they were aware of the vulnerability
nature of this fix:
"glibc: backport an nss overflow patch.
This beckports a patch to fix a nss vulnerability inside glibc."
I'm CC-ing the committer. Maybe we can shed some light on this.
Two people having fixed this in different places without crying alarm -
it's worrying.
Here's the german article mentioning this:
