Description

The system is missing one or more SuSE security patches. This update fixes an old buffer overflow in the resolver functions of glibc. An attacker can send malformated DNS packets from a DNS server to trigger the bug in the function getnetbyname(), and getnetbyaddr() to execute arbitrary code remotely. CAN-2002-0029
