Package : c-ares
CVE ID : CVE-2021-3672
Debian Bug : 992053

Philipp Jeitner and Haya Shulman discovered a flaw in c-ares, a library
that performs DNS requests and name resolution asynchronously. Missing
input validation of hostnames returned by DNS servers can lead to output
of wrong hostnames (leading to Domain Hijacking).

For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.14.0-1+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your c-ares packages.

tracker page at:
