CVE-2026-0915: getnetbyaddr and getnetbyaddr_r leak stack contents to DNS resovler

Calling getnetbyaddr or getnetbyaddr_r with a configured nsswitch.conf that specifies the library's DNS backend for networks and queries for a zero-valued network in the GNU C Library version 2.0 to version 2.42 can leak stack contents to the configured DNS resolver.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2026-0915 is an information leak in GNU glibc. Under a specific name-service configuration, certain network lookup calls can send unintended stack memory contents to the configured DNS resolver. This could expose sensitive process data to whoever can observe that resolver path. Exposure is most likely on Linux systems using affected glibc versions where nsswitch.conf configures DNS for the networks database. Risk increases if sensitive workloads can trigger these lookups or DNS resolver traffic is externally observable. Prioritize assessment for Linux servers handling sensitive data or using centralized DNS resolvers. Treat as high confidentiality risk, but not currently known exploited from the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Check vendor or Linux distribution advisories for fixed glibc packages.; Inventory systems running glibc versions 2.0 through 2.42.; Review nsswitch.conf for DNS use in the networks database..
