Package : c-ares
Version : 1.14.0-1+deb10u3
CVE ID : CVE-2023-31130 CVE-2023-32067

Two vunerabilities were discovered in c-ares, an asynchronous name
resolver library:

CVE-2023-31130

ares_inet_net_pton() is found to be 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, however external usage for other purposes may
cause more severe issues.

CVE-2023-32067

Target resolver may erroneously interprets a malformed UDP packet
with a length of 0 as a graceful shutdown of the connection, which
could cause a denial of service.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
1.14.0-1+deb10u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your c-ares packages.
