<define-tag description>LTS security update</define-tag>
<define-tag moreinfo>
<p>A vulnerability has been fixed in eglibc, Debian's version of the GNU C
library:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2015-0235">CVE-2015-0235</a>
<p>Qualys discovered that the gethostbyname and gethostbyname2
functions were subject to a buffer overflow if provided with a
crafted IP address argument. This could be used by an attacker to
execute arbitrary code in processes which called the affected
functions.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>The original glibc bug was reported by Peter Klotz.</p>
<p>For Debian 6 <q>Squeeze</q>, this issue has been fixed in eglibc version 2.11.3-4+deb6u4</p>
<p>We recommend that you upgrade your eglibc packages.</p>
<p>The other three CVEs fixed in Debian wheezy via <a href="./dsa-3142">DSA 3142-1</a> have already been
fixed in squeeze LTS via DLA <a href="../2014/dla-97">DLA 97-1</a>.</p>
