It looks like the bug may actually be fixed in trusty-security eglibc
2.19-0ubuntu6.6
eglibc (2.19-0ubuntu6.6) trusty-security; urgency=medium
* SECURITY UPDATE: getaddrinfo writes to random file descriptors under
high load
- debian/patches/any/cvs-resolv-reuse-fd.diff: reload file descriptor
after calling reopen in resolv/res_send.c.
- CVE-2013-7423
So this bug status is misleading; the issue should be fixed against
Trusty I believe.
** CVE added: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-
