Descriptions

In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.28, attempting to resolve a crafted hostname via getaddrinfo() leads to the allocation of a socket descriptor that is not closed. This is related to the if_nametoindex() function.

En la biblioteca GNU C (también conocida como glibc o libc6) hasta la versión 2.28, los intentos para resolver un nombre de host manipulado mediante getaddrinfo() conducen a la asignación de un descriptor de un socket que no está cerrado. Esto está relacionado con la función if_nametoindex().
