[X2Go-Dev] Bug#778: affected by CVE 2015-0235: Stop using gethosbyname()

[Mike Gabriel]

Package: src:nx-libs
Severity: important

The NX source code uses gethostbyname() at several locations and is potentially affected by CVE 2015-0235 (GHOST security issue in glibc).

We should move towards using getaddrinfo() asap.
