GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

CVE-2017-15650 (GCVE-0-2017-15650)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2017-10-19 23:00 – Updated: 2024-08-05 19:57
VLAI
Summary
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.
