CVE-2015-5180 [HIGH] GNU C Library Regression
Title: GNU C Library Regression
Summary: USN-3239-1 introduced a regression in the GNU C Library.
USN-3239-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the GNU C Library. Unfortunately,
the fix for CVE-2015-5180 introduced an internal ABI change within
the resolver library. This update reverts the change. We apologize
for the inconvenience.
Please note that long-running services that were restarted to compensate
for the USN-3239-1 update may need to be restarted again.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that the GNU C Library incorrectly handled the
strxfrm() function. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial
of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-8982)
