EUVDB-ID: #VU86807

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-25629

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the ares__read_line() function when parsing local configuration files, such as `/etc/resolv.conf`, `/etc/nsswitch.conf`, or `HOSTALIASES` file. A local user can insert a NULL character as the first character in a new line into one of the configuration files and crash the application.
