Amazon Linux 2023 Security Advisory: ALAS-2024-562
Advisory Release Date: 2024-03-13 20:41 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2024-03-21 14:00 Pacific
Severity:
Medium
Issue Overview:
c-ares is a C library for asynchronous DNS requests. `ares__read_line()` is used to parse local configuration files such as `/etc/resolv.conf`, `/etc/nsswitch.conf`, the `HOSTALIASES` file, and if using a c-ares version prior to 1.27.0, the `/etc/hosts` file. If any of these configuration files has an embedded `NULL` character as the first character in a new line, it can lead to attempting to read memory prior to the start of the given buffer which may result in a crash. This issue is fixed in c-ares 1.27.0. No known workarounds exist. (CVE-2024-25629)
