 Package : glibc CVE ID : CVE-2024-33599 CVE-2024-33600 CVE-2024-33601 CVE-2024-33602

 Several vulnerabilities were discovered in nscd, the Name Service Cache Daemon in the GNU C library which may lead to denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

 For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 2.31-13+deb11u10.

 For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 2.36-9+deb12u7.

 We recommend that you upgrade your glibc packages.
