CVE-2016-10739 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:16.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glibc package and not the glibc package as distributed by Ubuntu.
In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.28, the getaddrinfo function would successfully parse a string that contained an IPv4 address followed by whitespace and arbitrary characters, which could lead applications to incorrectly assume that it had parsed a valid string, without the possibility of embedded HTTP headers or other potentially dangerous substrings.
