This issue affects applications like net-snmp snmpd and OpenLDAP daemons that uses the hosts_ctl() tcp_wrappers interface function. The flaw prevents correct matching of access rules with hostnames, potentially leading to incorrectly denied access (if in an allow rule) or bypassed access restrictions (if in a deny rule).
