CVE-2013-7424

Publication date 26 August 2015

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The getaddrinfo function in glibc before 2.15, when compiled with libidn and the AI_IDN flag is used, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid free) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by an internationalized domain name to ping6.
