Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.60187
Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-08:02.libc.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-08:02.libc.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-08:02.libc.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
The resolver is the part of libc that resolves hostnames (example.com) to
internet protocol (IP) addresses (192.0.2.1) and vice versa.

The inet_network() function returns an in_addr_t representing the network
address of the IP address given to inet_network() as a character string in
the dot-notation.

An off-by-one error in the inet_network() function could lead to memory
corruption with certain inputs.

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.
