Vulnerability CVE-2017-15650
Published: 2017-10-19   Modified: 2017-10-20

Description:
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.
