CVE-2023-32067

0-byte UDP payload DoS in c-ares

Published May 25, 2023 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS 1.6% KEV · Not listed
Description
c-ares is an asynchronous resolver library. c-ares is vulnerable to denial of service. If a target resolver sends a query, the attacker forges a malformed UDP packet with a length of 0 and returns them to the target resolver. The target resolver erroneously interprets the 0 length as a graceful shutdown of the connection. This issue has been patched in version 1.19.1.
