Subject: affected by CVE 2015-0235: Stop using gethosbyname()

From: Mike Gabriel <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 01 Feb 2015 08:04:41 +0100

Package: src:nx-libs
Severity: important

The NX source code uses gethostbyname() at several locations and is potentially affected by CVE 2015-0235 (GHOST security issue in glibc).

We should move towards using getaddrinfo() asap.

Mike
