2016-02-18 09:54 AEST by Arthur Barrett - CVE-2015-7547 is a Critical security bug (stack-based buffer overflow) in glibc: getaddrinfo.
This issue does not affect the versions of glibc as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4 and 5.
https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2015-7547
Since these are the versions of glibc that we link against (or even earlier RH9), I think there is no
impact to CVSNT.
A (rather sensational?) article about it can be found here:
