"According to the version of the c-ares package installed, the EulerOS
installation on the remote host is affected by the following
vulnerability :
- c-ares is a C library that performs DNS requests and
name resolves asynchronously. c-ares is a fork of the
library named 'ares', written by Greg Hudson at
MIT.Security Fix(es):A Node.js application that allows
an attacker to trigger a DNS request for a host of
their choice could trigger a Denial of Service in
versions < 15.2.1, < 14.15.1, and < 12.19.1 by getting
the application to resolve a DNS record with a larger
number of responses. This is fixed in 15.2.1, 14.15.1,
and 12.19.1.(CVE-2020-8277)
