Discussion
GNU glibc 'getaddrinfo()' Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability
GNU glibc is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability.
Attackers can exploit this issue to crash the application, denying service to legitimate users. Due to the nature of this issue arbitrary code execution may be possible, but this has not been confirmed.
glibc 2.18 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
