NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream yadifa package and not the yadifa package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The DNS packet parser in YADIFA before 2.2.6 does not check for the presence of infinite pointer loops, and thus it is possible to force it to enter an infinite loop. This can cause high CPU usage and makes the server unresponsive.
