CVE-2002-1146 Information

Description

The BIND 4 and BIND 8.2.x stub resolver libraries and other libraries such as glibc 2.2.5 and earlier libc and libresolv use the maximum buffer size instead of the actual size when processing a DNS response which causes the stub resolvers to read past the actual boundary (\read buffer overflow) allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).
