The issue is related to multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the send dg and send vc functions of the libresolv library in glibc. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS response that triggers a call to the getaddrinfo function with the AF UNSPEC or AF INET6 address family. The exploitation may involve sending specially crafted DNS queries, leading to a buffer overflow condition.
