Description Alexander Bergmann 2023-05-22 13:50:52 UTC

https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/security/advisories/GHSA-54xr-f67r-4pc4

CVE-2023-31124

Impact

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 an attacker to take advantage of the lack of entropy by not using a CSPRNG.
Patches

Patched in 1.19.1
Workarounds

Use CMake build system
