CVE-2017-15650 - log back

CVE-2017-15650 created at 25 Sep 2019 19:31:40
Severity	+ Critical
Remote	+ Remote
Type	+ Arbitrary code execution
Description	+ A stack-based buffer overflow has been found in the DNS response parsing code of musl libc <= 1.1.16. When an application makes a request via getaddrinfo for both IPv4 and IPv6 results (AF_UNSPEC), an attacker who controls or can spoof the nameservers configured in resolv.conf can reply to both the A and AAAA queries with A results. Since A records are smaller than AAAA records, it's possible to fit more addresses than the precomputed bound, and a buffer overflow occurs.
