From 0b0e50ce9efe2fec10e147eddba4f0802235a042 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Siddhesh Poyarekar Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2013 10:22:12 +0530 Subject: Fix stack overflow due to large AF_INET6 requests Resolves #16072 (CVE-2013-4458). This patch fixes another stack overflow in getaddrinfo when it is called with AF_INET6. The AF_UNSPEC case was fixed as CVE-2013-1914, but the AF_INET6 case went undetected back then.
