+Buffer overread in ns_printrrf with corrupted RDATA field
+
+The deprecated functions ns_printrrf, ns_printrr and fp_nquery in the
+GNU C Library version 2.2 and newer fail to validate the RDATA content
+against the RDATA length in a DNS response when processing LOC, CERT,
+TKEY or TSIG records, which may allow an attacker to craft a DNS
+response, causing a target application to crash or read uninitialized
+memory.
+
+These functions are for debugging only and hence not in the default path
+of code executed by the DNS resolver.  Further, they have been
+deprecated since version 2.34 and should not be used by any new
+applications.  Applications should consider porting away from these
+interfaces since they may be removed in future versions.
