CVE-2016-10739
Published: 21 January 2019
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.
Notes
| Author | Note |
|---|---|
| mdeslaur | glibc uses this internally to parse config files, fixing this may introduce unwanted regressions and changes in behaviour |
| leosilva | See CVE-2019-18348 for Python that is affected by this issue. |
