Description
The name_parse function in evdns.c in libevent before 2.1.6-beta allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors involving the label_len variable, which triggers an out-of-bounds stack read.
A vulnerability was found in libevent with the parsing of DNS requests and replies. An attacker could send a forged DNS response to an application using libevent which could lead to reading data out of bounds on the heap, potentially disclosing a small amount of application memory.
