Description
Herbert Xu reported that various applications can accept spoofed
messages sent on the kernel netlink interface by other users on the
local machine. This could lead to a local denial of service attack.
The glibc function getifaddrs uses netlink and could therefore be
vulnerable to this issue. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2003-0859 to this
issue.
In addition to this this update fixes a couple of bugs.
