    CVE-2023-32067

    0-byte UDP payload DoS in c-ares

    Insufficient randomness in generation of DNS query IDs in c-ares

    c-ares is an asynchronous resolver library. When /dev/urandom or RtlGenRandom() are unavailable, c-ares uses rand() to generate random numbers used for DNS query ids. This is not a CSPRNG, and it is also not seeded by srand() so will generate predictable outp…

    AutoTools does not set CARES_RANDOM_FILE during cross compilation

    c-ares is an asynchronous resolver library. When cross-compiling c-ares and using the autotools build system, CARES_RANDOM_FILE will not be set, as seen when cross compiling aarch64 android. This will downgrade to using rand() as a fallback which could allow …
