Hi, Uclibc-ng 1.0.12 has been released which fixes some issues found in the dns resolver code. The first is a denial of service while parsing compressed items. An attacker can make the application end up in an infinit loop. Fixed by: http://repo.or.cz/uclibc-ng.git/commit/16719c1a7078421928e6d31dd1dec574825ef515 The other problem is that a crafted packet will make the parser terminate early. The buffer is never initialized and is later passed to strdup(). Fixed by: http://repo.or.cz/uclibc-ng.git/commit/bb01edff0377f2585ce304ecbadcb7b6cde372ac Can one or two CVEs be assigned for these issues? Best regards, Daniel Fahlgren
