Description Victor Pereira 2015-09-15 08:48:00 UTC 
rh#1262914

It was discovered that the NSS files backend in glibc could corrupt
data while it was read from files such as /etc/passwd or /etc/hosts,
returning incorrect data to the application, potentially disclosing
information or leading to escalation of privilege.
