7.5 HIGH — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

The default configuration of Name Service Cache Daemon (nscd) in Caldera OpenLinux 3.1 and 3.1.1 uses cached PTR records instead of consulting the authoritative DNS server for the A record, which could make it easier for remote attackers to bypass applications that restrict access based on host names.

Affected configurations

• nscd nscd 2.2.4
