CVE-2020-6072 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 2 source packages (libmicrodns, vlc), 8 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 8.

Description:

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.
