[OE-core] [PATCH] glibc: CVE-2014-9402 endless loop in getaddr_r

From: Armin Kuster <akuster at mvista.com>

The getnetbyname function in glibc 2.21 in earlier will enter an infinite loop
if the DNS backend is activated in the system Name Service Switch
configuration, and the DNS resolver receives a positive answer while processing
the network name.
