Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling through the processing of invalid DNSSEC records. An attacker can cause excessive resource consumption by sending a large number of specially crafted, invalid DNSSEC records to a recursive resolver, potentially resulting in service disruption.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by configuring appropriate limits for max-records-per-type and max-types-per-name in the named.conf file and restarting the named service.
