Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Legacy Security Advisory FLSA-2004:1947
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory FLSA-2004:1947.

A security audit of glibc revealed a flaw in the resolver library which
was originally reported as affecting versions of ISC BIND 4.9. This flaw
also applied to glibc versions before 2.3.2. An attacker who is able to
send DNS responses (perhaps by creating a malicious DNS server) could
remotely exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a
denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2002-0029 to this issue.

All users of glibc should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
