 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2015:218
 http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
 ____________________________________________________________
___________

 Package : glibc
 Date    : April 30, 2015
 Affected: Business Server 1.0, Business Server 2.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in glibc:

 It was discovered that, under certain circumstances, glibc's
 getaddrinfo\(\) function would send DNS queries to random file
 descriptors. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to send DNS
 queries to unintended recipients, resulting in information disclosure
 or data loss due to the application encountering corrupted data
 (CVE-2013-7423).

 A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way glibc's gethostbyname_r\(\)
 and other related functions computed the size of a buffer when passed
 a misaligned buffer as input. An attacker able to make an application
 call any of these functions with a misaligned buffer could use this
 flaw to crash the application or, potentially, execute arbitrary
 code with the permissions of the user running the application
 (CVE-2015-1781).

 The updated packages provides a solution for these security issues.
