Appliance update: getaddrinfo() vulnerability

Post by mark »

There is a vulnerability in DNS information lookup, CVE-2015-7547, that might affect newer appliances in extremely limited cases.

Appliance owners should install all updates available to their appliance via the System Setup->Update Software menu. In particular for this issue you need glibc, glibc@32, glibc-common. Those should all be updated at the same time and the system rebooted immediately afterwards.
