CVE-2015-7547 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:11 glibc to version 2.21-8 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glibc package and not the glibc package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the (1) send_dg and (2) send_vc functions in the libresolv library in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) 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, related to performing "dual A/AAAA DNS queries" and the libnss_dns.so.2 NSS module.
