Description

The nss_dns implementation of getnetbyname in GNU C Library (aka glibc) before 2.21, when the DNS backend in the Name Service Switch configuration is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by sending a positive answer while a network name is being process.

Workaround

The attached patch to oe-core layer should add upstream patch to glibc and fix this issue if the project uses build_libc feature.
