The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the DNS response parsing functionality. A remote attacker can trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition.

3) Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-27738)

CWE-ID: CWE-788 - Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
