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-2022-3080
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 an error when resolvers are configured to answer from stale cache with zero stale-answer-client-timeout and there is a stale CNAME in the cache for an incoming query. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the DNS resolver and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
