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 output. Input from the random number generator is fed into a non-compilant RC4 implementation and may not be as strong as the original RC4 implementation. No attempt is made to look for modern OS-provided CSPRNGs like arc4random() that is widely available. This issue has been fixed in version 1.19.1." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-330: Use of Insufficiently Random Values", "cweId": "CWE-330" } ] } ] }, "affects": { "vendor": { "vendor_data": [ { "vendor_name": "c-ares", "product": { "product_data": [ { "product_name": "c-ares", "version": { "version_data": [ { "version_affected": "=", "version_value": "< 1.19.1" } ] } } ] } } ] } }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/security/advisories/GHSA-8r8p-23f3-64c2", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/security/advisories/GHSA-8r8p-23f3-64c2" }, { "url": "https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/releases/tag/cares-1_19_1", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/releases/tag/cares-1_19_1" }, { "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/B5Z5XFNXTNPTCBBVXFDNZQVLLIE6VRBY/", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/B5Z5XFNXTNPTCBBVXFDNZQVLLIE6VRBY/" }, { "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/UBFWILTA33LOSV23P44FGTQQIDRJHIY7/", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/UBFWILTA33LOSV23P44FGTQQIDRJHIY7/" }, { "url": "https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202310-09", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202310-09" } ] }, "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-8r8p-23f3-64c2", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" }, "impact": { "cvss": [ { "attackComplexity": "HIGH", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "NONE", "baseScore": 5.9, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N", "version": "3.1" } ] } }
