A flaw was found in glibc. In an uncommon situation, the gaih_inet function
may use memory that has been freed, resulting in an application crash. This
issue is only exploitable when the getaddrinfo function is called and the
hosts database in /etc/nsswitch.conf is configured with SUCCESS=continue or
SUCCESS=merge.
