Last modified

CVE-2013-7424 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The getaddrinfo function in glibc before 2.15, when compiled with libidn and the AI_IDN flag is used, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid free) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by an internationalized domain name to ping6.. EPSS estimates a 2.68% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
