CVE-2023-50434
Critical 9.8
In plain English
A critical-severity stack buffer overflow in the affected software. Proof-of-concept exploit code is public. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.6% (higher than 47% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
emdns_resolve_raw in emdns.c in emdns through fbd1eef calls strlen with an input that may not be '\0' terminated, leading to a stack-based buffer over-read. This can be triggered by a remote adversary that can send DNS requests to the emdns server. The impact could vary depending on the system libraries, compiler, and processor architecture. Code before be565c3 is unaffected.
