| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in c-ares. This issue occurs 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. As a result, it will downgrade to rand(), which could allow an attacker to utilize the lack of entropy by not using a CSPRNG.
