Doc Text:
A vulnerability was found in c-ares. This issue occurs in the ares_inet_net_pton() function, which is vulnerable to a buffer underflow for certain ipv6 addresses. "0::00:00:00/2" in particular was found to cause an issue. C-ares only uses this function internally for configuration purposes, which would require an administrator to configure such an address via ares_set_sortlist().
