The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'c-ares' package(s) announced via the DLA-648-1 advisory. Gzob Qq discovered that the query-building functions in c-ares, an asynchronous DNS request library, would not correctly process crafted query names, resulting in a heap buffer overflow and potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. We recommend that you upgrade your c-ares packages. Please install the updated package(s)
