A security issue has been identified in the c-ares library affecting Ubuntu 25.10 and 25.04. The vulnerability allows an attacker to cause c-ares to crash by sending specially crafted queries, leading to a denial of service. This issue arises from c-ares incorrectly handling the termination of certain queries after a maximum number of attempts.
