CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:14.04 maradns.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream maradns package and not the maradns package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

MaraDNS 1.3.07.12 and 1.4.08 computes hash values for DNS data without properly restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by sending many crafted queries with the Recursion Desired (RD) bit set. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-0024.
