GNU libidn2 before 2.2.0 fails to perform the roundtrip checks specified in RFC3490 Section 4.2 when converting A-labels to U-labels. This makes it possible in some circumstances for one domain to impersonate another. By creating a malicious domain that matches a target domain except for the inclusion of certain punycoded Unicode characters (that would be discarded when converted first to a Unicode label and then back to an ASCII label), arbitrary domains can be impersonated.

According to the versions of the libidn2 package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202003-63 (GNU IDN Library 2: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GNU IDN Library 2.
      Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could send specially crafted input, possibly resulting       in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process,       impersonation of domains or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
