Use After Free
AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

A flaw has been identified in glibc. In an uncommon situation, the gaihinet function may use memory that has been freed, resulting in an application crash. This issue is only exploitable when the getaddrinfo function is called and the hosts database in /etc/nsswitch.conf is configured with SUCCESS=continue or SUCCESS=merge.

Remedy

Removing the "SUCCESS=continue" or "SUCCESS=merge" configuration from the hosts database in /etc/nsswitch.conf will mitigate this vulnerability. Note that, these options are not supported by the hosts database, if they were working before it was because of this bug.
