CVE-2015-0235

Publication date 27 January 2015

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

High

Why this priority?

Heap-based buffer overflow in the __nss_hostname_digits_dots function in glibc 2.2, and other 2.x versions before 2.18, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the (1) gethostbyname or (2) gethostbyname2 function, aka "GHOST."
