NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gdnsd package and not the gdnsd package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The set_ipv4() function in zscan_rfc1035.rl in gdnsd 3.x before 3.2.1 has a stack-based buffer overflow via a long and malformed IPv4 address in zone data.
