Detail
| Gzob Qq discovered that the query-building functions in c-ares, an asynchronous DNS request library would not correctly process crafted query names, resulting in a heap buffer overflow and potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1.10.0-2+deb8u1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.12.0-1. We recommend that you upgrade your c-ares packages. |
