- Comments
- Bollinger> IY34670 did not have a complete fix for this vulnerability. | The complete fix is found in IY40519. In addition, nslookup | completely drops privileges very early in the process. This buffer | overflow would not result in privilege increase. | Christey> If this overflow doesn"t cross privilege boundaries, then it"s | not security relevant and should be excluded from CVE.
