Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion
EUVDB-ID: #VU86377
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 7.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50387
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing DNSSEC related records. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion by forcing the DNS server to query a specially crafted DNSSEC zone and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
