Summary
=======

The package libmicrodns before version 0.1.2-1 is vulnerable to
multiple issues including arbitrary code execution, denial of service
and information disclosure.

Resolution
==========

Upgrade to 0.1.2-1.

# pacman -Syu "libmicrodns>=0.1.2-1"

The problems have been fixed upstream in version 0.1.2.

Workaround
==========

None.

Description
===========

- CVE-2020-6071 (denial of service)

An exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the resource
record-parsing functionality of Videolabs libmicrodns 0.1.0. When
parsing compressed labels in mDNS messages, the compression pointer is
followed without checking for recursion, leading to a denial of
service. An attacker can send an mDNS message to trigger this
vulnerability.

- CVE-2020-6072 (arbitrary code execution)

An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the label-parsing
functionality of Videolabs libmicrodns 0.1.0. When parsing compressed
labels in mDNS messages, the rr_decode function's return value is not
checked, leading to a double free that could be exploited to execute
arbitrary code. An attacker can send an mDNS message to trigger this
vulnerability.

- CVE-2020-6073 (information disclosure)

An exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the TXT
record-parsing functionality of Videolabs libmicrodns 0.1.0. When
parsing the RDATA section in a TXT record in mDNS messages, multiple
integer overflows can be triggered, leading to a denial of service. An
attacker can send an mDNS message to trigger this vulnerability.

- CVE-2020-6077 (information disclosure)

An exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the message-
parsing functionality of Videolabs libmicrodns 0.1.0. When parsing mDNS
messages, the implementation does not properly keep track of the
available data in the message, possibly leading to an out-of-bounds
read that would result in a denial of service. An attacker can send an
mDNS message to trigger this vulnerability.

- CVE-2020-6078 (denial of service)

An exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the message-
parsing functionality of Videolabs libmicrodns 0.1.0. When parsing mDNS
messages in mdns_recv, the return value of the mdns_read_header
function is not checked, leading to an uninitialized variable usage
that eventually results in a null pointer dereference, leading to
service crash. An attacker can send a series of mDNS messages to
trigger this vulnerability.

- CVE-2020-6079 (denial of service)

Multiple exploitable denial-of-service vulnerabilities exist in the
resource allocation handling of Videolabs libmicrodns 0.1.0. When
encountering errors while parsing mDNS messages, some allocated data is
not freed, possibly leading to a denial-of-service condition via
resource exhaustion. An attacker can send one mDNS message repeatedly
to trigger these vulnerabilities.

- CVE-2020-6080 (denial of service)

Multiple exploitable denial-of-service vulnerabilities exist in the
resource allocation handling of Videolabs libmicrodns 0.1.0. When
encountering errors while parsing mDNS messages, some allocated data is
not freed, possibly leading to a denial-of-service condition via
resource exhaustion. An attacker can send one mDNS message repeatedly
to trigger these vulnerabilities.

Impact
======

A remote attacker can provide crafted DNS responses to crash the
service, disclose data or execute arbitrary code.
