CVE-2023-31130 (GCVE-0-2023-31130)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-05-25 21:45 – Updated: 2025-02-13 16:49

Title

Buffer Underwrite in ares_inet_net_pton()

Summary

c-ares is an asynchronous resolver library. ares_inet_net_pton() is 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 which would require an administrator to configure such an address via ares_set_sortlist(). However, users may externally use ares_inet_net_pton() for other purposes and thus be vulnerable to more severe issues. This issue has been fixed in 1.19.1.

Severity ?

4.1 (Medium)
