CWE-ID: CWE-617 - Reachable Assertion

CVSSv4: 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:U/U:Green


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

The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion when incoming DNS over HTTPS support is enabled using the nghttp2 provider, and queries are routed to a tcp-only or DNS over TLS backend. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request for a zone transfer (AXFR or IXFR) over DNS over HTTPS and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
