    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201701-28 (c-ares: Heap-based buffer overflow) A hostname with an escaped trailing dot (such as &ldquo;hello\\.&rdquo;) would have its size calculated incorrectly leading to a single byte written beyond the end of a buffer on the heap. Impact : A remote attacker, able to provide a specially crafted hostname to an application using c-ares, could potentially cause a Denial of Service condition. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
