Thanks for the update el'Reg. I'll get on with protecting my servers.
I just have to ask though:
bug in glibc's DNS resolver – which is used to translate human-readable domain names, such as theregister.co.uk, into a network IP address.
Was this really necessary? I would posit that anyone reading this site, or at least 99.99% of them, will already know what DNS is. Even most semi-technical users know what DNS is for. This line may be needed on a general news site, but on The Register, read mostly by techies?
