CVE-2017-12132 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The DNS stub resolver in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before version 2.26, when EDNS support is enabled, will solicit large UDP responses from name servers, potentially simplifying off-path DNS spoofing attacks due to IP fragmentation.. EPSS estimates a 1.90% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
