    XPost: linux.debian.bugs.dist

    Source: glibc
    Version: 2.24-11

    Hi,

    the following vulnerability was published for glibc.

    CVE-2017-12132[0]:
    | The DNS stub resolver in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before
    | version 2.26, when EDNS support is enabled, will solicit large UDP
    | responses from name servers, potentially simplifying off-path DNS
    | spoofing attacks due to IP fragmentation.

    If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
    CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

    For further information see:

    Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed.

    Regards,
    Salvatore
