NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nsd package and not the nsd package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

Off-by-one error in the packet_read_query_section function in packet.c in nsd 3.2.1, and process_query_section in query.c in nsd 2.3.7, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors that trigger a buffer overflow.
