- CVEs with nessus.description==The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201701-28 (c-ares: Heap-based buffer overflow)
A hostname with an escaped trailing dot (such as “hello\\.”) would have its size calculated incorrectly leading to a single byte written beyond the end of a buffer on the heap.
Impact :
A remote attacker, able to provide a specially crafted hostname to an application using c-ares, could potentially cause a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
