CVE-2013-7424 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:11 glibc to version 2.15-1 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.
The getaddrinfo function in glibc before 2.15, when compiled with libidn and the AI_IDN flag is used, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid free) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by an internationalized domain name to ping6.
