+
+The stack allocated color map buffers were not zeroed before usage, and
+so undefined palette indexes could cause information leakage.
+
+This is CVE-2017-7890.

+Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2015-7547: getaddrinfo() stack-based buffer overflow (Bug
+ 18665).
+
+* A stack-based buffer overflow was found in libresolv when invoked from
+  libnss_dns, allowing specially crafted DNS responses to seize control
+  of execution flow in the DNS client.  The buffer overflow occurs in
+  the functions send_dg (send datagram) and send_vc (send TCP) for the
+  NSS module libnss_dns.so.2 when calling getaddrinfo with AF_UNSPEC
+  family.  The use of AF_UNSPEC triggers the low-level resolver code to
+  send out two parallel queries for A and AAAA.  A mismanagement of the
+  buffers used for those queries could result in the response of a query
+  writing beyond the alloca allocated buffer created by
+  _nss_dns_gethostbyname4_r.  Buffer management is simplified to remove
+  the overflow.  Thanks to the Google Security Team and Red Hat for
+  reporting the security impact of this issue, and Robert Holiday of
+  Ciena for reporting the related bug 18665. (CVE-2015-7547)

++
++     Lastly, you may be tempted to make significant changes to the
++     conditions in this code to bring about symmetry between responses.
++     Please don't change anything without due consideration for
++     expected application behaviour.  Some of the synthesized responses
++     aren't very well thought out and sometimes appear to imply that
++     IPv4 responses are always answer 1, and IPv6 responses are always
++     answer 2, but that's not true (see the implementation of send_dg
++     and send_vc to see response can arrive in any order, particularly
++     for UDP). However, we expect it holds roughly enough of the time
++     that this code works, but certainly needs to be fixed to make this
++     a more robust implementation.

++
++     [1] If the first response is a success we return success.
++	 This ignores the state of the second answer and in fact
++	 incorrectly sets errno and h_errno to that of the second
++	 answer.  However because the response is a success we ignore
++	 *errnop and *h_errnop (though that means you touched errno on
++	 success).  We are being conservative here and returning the
++	 likely IPv4 response in the first answer as a success.
++
++     [2] If the first response is a recoverable TRYAGAIN we return
++	 that instead of looking at the second response.  The
++	 expectation here is that we have failed to get an IPv4 response
++	 and should retry both queries.
++
++     [3] If the first response was not a SUCCESS and the second
++	 response is not NOTFOUND (had a SUCCESS, need to TRYAGAIN,
++	 or failed entirely e.g. TRYAGAIN' and UNAVAIL) then use the
++	 result from the second response, otherwise the first responses
++	 status is used.  Again we have some odd side-effects when the
++	 second response is NOTFOUND because we overwrite *errnop and
++	 *h_errnop that means that a first answer of NOTFOUND might see
++	 its *errnop and *h_errnop values altered.  Whether it matters
++	 in practice that a first response NOTFOUND has the wrong
++	 *errnop and *h_errnop is undecided.
++
++     [4] If the first response is UNAVAIL we return that instead of
++	 looking at the second response.  The expectation here is that
++	 it will have failed similarly e.g. configuration failure.
++
++     [5] Testing this code is complicated by the fact that truncated
++	 second response buffers might be returned as SUCCESS if the
++	 first answer is a SUCCESS.  To fix this we add symmetry to
++	 TRYAGAIN with the second response.  If the second response
++	 is a recoverable error we now return TRYAGIN even if the first
++	 response was SUCCESS.  */

++/* The send_vc function is responsible for sending a DNS query over TCP
++   to the nameserver numbered NS from the res_state STATP i.e.
++   EXT(statp).nssocks[ns].  The function supports sending both IPv4 and
++   IPv6 queries at the same serially on the same socket.
++
++   Please note that for TCP there is no way to disable sending both
++   queries, unlike UDP, which honours RES_SNGLKUP and RES_SNGLKUPREOP
++   and sends the queries serially and waits for the result after each
++   sent query.  This implemetnation should be corrected to honour these
++   options.
++
++   Please also note that for TCP we send both queries over the same
++   socket one after another.  This technically violates best practice
++   since the server is allowed to read the first query, respond, and
++   then close the socket (to service another client).  If the server
++   does this, then the remaining second query in the socket data buffer
++   will cause the server to send the client an RST which will arrive
++   asynchronously and the client's OS will likely tear down the socket
++   receive buffer resulting in a potentially short read and lost
++   response data.  This will force the client to retry the query again,
++   and this process may repeat until all servers and connection resets
++   are exhausted and then the query will fail.  It's not known if this
++   happens with any frequency in real DNS server implementations.  This
++   implementation should be corrected to use two sockets by default for
++   parallel queries.
++
++   The query stored in BUF of BUFLEN length is sent first followed by
++   the query stored in BUF2 of BUFLEN2 length.  Queries are sent
++   serially on the same socket.
++
++   Answers to the query are stored firstly in *ANSP up to a max of
++   *ANSSIZP bytes.  If more than *ANSSIZP bytes are needed and ANSCP
++   is non-NULL (to indicate that modifying the answer buffer is allowed)
++   then malloc is used to allocate a new response buffer and ANSCP and
++   ANSP will both point to the new buffer.  If more than *ANSSIZP bytes
++   are needed but ANSCP is NULL, then as much of the response as
++   possible is read into the buffer, but the results will be truncated.
++   When truncation happens because of a small answer buffer the DNS
++   packets header field TC will bet set to 1, indicating a truncated
++   message and the rest of the socket data will be read and discarded.
++
++   Answers to the query are stored secondly in *ANSP2 up to a max of
++   *ANSSIZP2 bytes, with the actual response length stored in
++   *RESPLEN2.  If more than *ANSSIZP bytes are needed and ANSP2
++   is non-NULL (required for a second query) then malloc is used to
++   allocate a new response buffer, *ANSSIZP2 is set to the new buffer
++   size and *ANSP2_MALLOCED is set to 1.
++
++   The ANSP2_MALLOCED argument will eventually be removed as the
++   change in buffer pointer can be used to detect the buffer has
++   changed and that the caller should use free on the new buffer.
++
++   Note that the answers may arrive in any order from the server and
++   therefore the first and second answer buffers may not correspond to
++   the first and second queries.
++
++   It is not supported to call this function with a non-NULL ANSP2
++   but a NULL ANSCP.  Put another way, you can call send_vc with a
++   single unmodifiable buffer or two modifiable buffers, but no other
++   combination is supported.
++
++   It is the caller's responsibility to free the malloc allocated
++   buffers by detecting that the pointers have changed from their
++   original values i.e. *ANSCP or *ANSP2 has changed.
++
++   If errors are encountered then *TERRNO is set to an appropriate
++   errno value and a zero result is returned for a recoverable error,
++   and a less-than zero result is returned for a non-recoverable error.
++
++   If no errors are encountered then *TERRNO is left unmodified and

+Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2016-3706: getaddrinfo: stack overflow in hostent
+ conversion [BZ #20010]
+
+When converting a struct hostent response to struct gaih_addrtuple, the
+gethosts macro (which is called from gaih_inet) used alloca, without
+malloc fallback for large responses.  This commit changes this code to
+use calloc unconditionally.
+
+This commit also consolidated a second hostent-to-gaih_addrtuple
+conversion loop (in gaih_inet) to use the new conversion function.
+

+Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2016-4429: sunrpc: Do not use alloca in clntudp_call [BZ
+ #20112]
+
+The call is technically in a loop, and under certain circumstances
+(which are quite difficult to reproduce in a test case), alloca
+can be invoked repeatedly during a single call to clntudp_call.
+As a result, the available stack space can be exhausted (even
+though individual alloca sizes are bounded implicitly by what
+can fit into a UDP packet, as a side effect of the earlier
+successful send operation).
