    Package        : c-ares
    Version        : 1.14.0-1+deb10u2
    CVE ID         : CVE-2022-4904
    Debian Bug     : 1031525

    It was discovered that in c-ares, an asynchronous name resolver library,
    the config_sortlist function is missing checks about the validity of the
    input string, which allows a possible arbitrary length stack overflow and
    thus may cause a denial of service.

    For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
    1.14.0-1+deb10u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your c-ares packages.

    For the detailed security status of c-ares please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/c-ares
