Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read via the autoUpgrade process. An attacker can cause a denial of service by sending a crafted SVCB response to a Discovery of Designated Resolvers request. This is only exploitable if the autoUpgrade (Lua) or auto_upgrade (YAML) settings are enabled.
