Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU28161
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-12662
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing DNS responses. A remote attacker who controls a malicious DNS server can send a specially crafted response and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack against third-party DNS servers.
The attack is triggered by random subdomains in the NSDNAME in NS records.
