Package : ldns
Version : 1.7.0-1+deb9u1
CVE IDs : CVE-2020-19860, CVE-2020-19861,
CVE-2017-1000231, CVE-2017-1000232
Debian Bugs : #882014, #882015

It was discovered that there were four issues in ldns, a library used
in Domain Name System (DNS) related programs:

• CVE-2020-19860: When ldns verified a zone file, the
  ldns_rr_new_frm_str_internal function had a heap out of bounds
  read vulnerability. An attacker could have potentially leaked
  information on the heap by constructing a zone file payload.

• CVE-2020-19861: When a zone file in ldns was parsed, the function
  ldns_nsec3_salt_data was too trusting of the length value
  obtained from the zone file. This could have caused heap overflow
  information leakage.

• CVE-2017-1000231: A double-free vulnerability in parse.c could
  have resulted in an attack vector. (#882015)

• CVE-2017-1000232: A double-free vulnerability within str2host.c
  could have resulted in an attack vector. (#882014)

For Debian 9 "Stretch", these problems have been fixed in version
1.7.0-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ldns packages.
