"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-198 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the c-ares package. The ares_set_sortlist is missing checks about the validity of the
    input string, which allows a possible arbitrary length stack overflow. This issue may cause a denial of
    service or a limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2022-4904)

  - c-ares is an asynchronous resolver library. When cross-compiling c-ares and using the autotools build
    system, CARES_RANDOM_FILE will not be set, as seen when cross compiling aarch64 android. This will
    downgrade to using rand() as a fallback which could allow an attacker to take advantage of the lack of
    entropy by not using a CSPRNG. This issue was patched in version 1.19.1. (CVE-2023-31124)

  - c-ares is an asynchronous resolver library. ares_inet_net_pton() is vulnerable to a buffer underflow for
    certain ipv6 addresses, in particular 0::00:00:00/2 was found to cause an issue. C-ares only uses this
    function internally for configuration purposes which would require an administrator to configure such an
    address via ares_set_sortlist(). However, users may externally use ares_inet_net_pton() for other purposes
    and thus be vulnerable to more severe issues. This issue has been fixed in 1.19.1. (CVE-2023-31130)

  - c-ares is an asynchronous resolver library. When /dev/urandom or RtlGenRandom() are unavailable, c-ares
    uses rand() to generate random numbers used for DNS query ids. This is not a CSPRNG, and it is also not
    seeded by srand() so will generate predictable output. Input from the random number generator is fed into
    a non-compilant RC4 implementation and may not be as strong as the original RC4 implementation. No attempt
    is made to look for modern OS-provided CSPRNGs like arc4random() that is widely available. This issue has
    been fixed in version 1.19.1. (CVE-2023-31147)

  - c-ares is an asynchronous resolver library. c-ares is vulnerable to denial of service. If a target
    resolver sends a query, the attacker forges a malformed UDP packet with a length of 0 and returns them to
    the target resolver. The target resolver erroneously interprets the 0 length as a graceful shutdown of the
    connection. This issue has been patched in version 1.19.1. (CVE-2023-32067)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
