Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-02-24 19:14:25 UTC
Description:
"The nameserver caching daemon (nscd) in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.29 through 2.33, when processing a request for netgroup lookup, may crash due to a double-free, potentially resulting in degraded service or Denial of Service on the local system. This is related to netgroupcache.c."
