CVE-2013-7423

Published: 2/24/2015 Last updated: 8/6/2024 Reserved: 1/28/2015

The send_dg function in resolv/res_send.c in GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.20 does not properly reuse file descriptors, which allows remote attackers to send DNS queries to unintended locations via a large number of requests that trigger a call to the getaddrinfo function.
