DescriptionNVD

The deprecated functions ns_printrrf, ns_printrr and fp_nquery in the GNU C Library version 2.2 and newer fail to enforce the caller-supplied buffer length, and can result in an out-of-bounds write when printing TSIG records.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds write in GNU C Library 2.2+ allows remote unauthenticated attackers to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code through specially crafted TSIG DNS records processed by deprecated ns_printrrf, ns_printrr, or fp_nquery functions. While these functions are deprecated, any application still using them for DNS record printing remains vulnerable to network-based attacks with low complexity and no authentication barriers. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all applications and systems using glibc with deprecated DNS functions (ns_printrrf, ns_printrr, fp_nquery) via code audit or vendor scanning tools; isolate high-risk systems if identified. Within 7 days: Implement network-level DNS filtering to restrict TSIG record processing from untrusted sources; escalate to application owners for modernization timeline. …
