Stack-based buffer overflow in the getaddrinfo function in
sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6)
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors
involving hostent conversion. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an
incomplete fix for CVE-2013-4458.
