Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (9.86%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Buffer overflows in the DNS stub resolver library in ISC BIND 4.9.2 through 4.9.10, and other derived libraries such as BSD libc and GNU glibc, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via DNS server responses that trigger the overflow in the (1) getnetbyname, or (2) getnetbyaddr functions, aka "LIBRESOLV: buffer overrun" and a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-0684.
