CVE-2015-0235 – GHOST: glibc gethostbyname buffer overflow

Just remember that by default lsof prints only first 9 characters of process name, so processes with long names will be cut. You can change how much initial characters lsof prints with +c command, but often kernel does not supply full names for lsof, example limit in my box is 15 characters

>lsof +c 64

lsof: +c 64 > what system provides (15)

lsof +c 15 is maximum

That limit is set somewhere in the kernel but it's not clear if lsof is just setting that as a maximum internally or probing somewhere - I used strace -etrace='!close' lsof +c 64 but I couldn't see anything related to the limit.
