Dear All,

It was discovered in Ubuntu platforms that the GNU C Library incorrectly
handled receiving
responses while performing DNS resolution. A remote attacker could use this
issue to cause the GNU C Library to crash, resulting in a denial of
service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Find attached advisory

Kind Regards
