CVE-2016-3075 The getnetbyname implementation in nss_dns was susceptible to a stack overflow and a crash if it was invoked on a very long name. CVE-2016-3706 Michael Petlan reported that getaddrinfo copied large amounts of address data to the stack, possibly leading to a stack overflow. This complements the fix for CVE-2013-4458. For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version 2.13-38+deb7u11. We recommend you to upgrade your eglibc packages.
