Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'c-ares' package(s) announced via the DLA-3323-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that in c-ares, an asynchronous name resolver library, the config_sortlist function is missing checks about the validity of the input string, which allows a possible arbitrary length stack overflow and thus may cause a denial of service.
