==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 16.10
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

c-ares could be made to crash or run programs if it processed a specially
crafted hostname.

Software Description:
- c-ares: library for asynchronous name resolves

Details:

Gzob Qq discovered that c-ares incorrectly handled certain hostnames. A
remote attacker could use this issue to cause applications using c-ares to

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 16.10:
  libc-ares2                      1.11.0-1ubuntu0.1
