Re: [wlug] Serious Network Function Vulnerability Found In Glibc

If you want to check it on your own system for yourself, enclosed is the C example program from the Qualys advisory. Compile it, run it, and see if it prints “vulnerable” or “not vulnerable”.

For people not that accustomed to compiling stuff, you need "gcc" installed to compile the C file and then execute it as follows (in the directory where you downloaded the C file to): gcc -o ghost_test ghost_test.c ./ghost_test Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174
