2) Resource exhaustion

EUVDB-ID: #VU86377

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50387

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The 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.

5) Reachable Assertion

EUVDB-ID: #VU86381

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-2023-5679

CWE-ID: CWE-617 - Reachable Assertion

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion caused by a bad interaction between DNS64 and serve-stale. A remote attacker can query a DNS64-enabled resolver for domain names triggering serve-stale.

6) Resource exhaustion

EUVDB-ID: #VU86379

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-2023-6516

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing specific recursive patterns. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack against the DNS resolver.
