URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2021-0301.html
Type: security

CVE: CVE-2021-23017

Description:
A flaw was found in nginx. An off-by-one error while processing DNS responses
allows a network attacker to write a dot character out of bounds in a heap
allocated buffer which can allow overwriting the least significant byte of next
heap chunk metadata likely leading to a remote code execution in certain
circumstances. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data
confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability (CVE-2021-23017).
