CVE-2020-22217: A buffer overflow vulnerability has been found in c-ares before via the function ares_parse_soa_reply in ares_parse_soa_reply.c. This vulnerability was discovered through fuzzing. Exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1.14.0-1+deb10u4.

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: [link moved to references]

Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: [link moved to references]");
