Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glibc-common package and not the glibc-common package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The send_dg function in resolv/res_send.c in GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.20 does not properly reuse file descriptors, which allows remote attackers to send DNS queries to unintended locations via a large number of requests that trigger a call to the getaddrinfo function.
