Gzob Qq discovered that the query-building functions in c-ares, an asynchronous DNS request library would not correctly process crafted query names, resulting in a heap buffer overflow and potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.

For Debian 7 โ€˜Wheezyโ€™, these problems have been fixed in version 1.9.1-3+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your c-ares packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
