CVE-2017-15650 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 musl to version 1.1.9-1ubuntu0.1~esm2 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream musl package and not the musl package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
musl libc before 1.1.17 has a buffer overflow via crafted DNS replies because dns_parse_callback in network/lookup_name.c does not restrict the number of addresses, and thus an attacker can provide an unexpected number by sending A records in a reply to an AAAA query.
