  • c-ares: buffer overflow in config_sortlist() due to missing string length check (CVE-2022-4904)
  • c-ares: Buffer Underwrite in ares_inet_net_pton() (CVE-2023-31130)
  • c-ares: Insufficient randomness in generation of DNS query IDs (CVE-2023-31147)
  • c-ares: AutoTools does not set CARES_RANDOM_FILE during cross compilation (CVE-2023-31124)
