Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Overflow or Wraparound in the processing of AXFR transfers containing specially crafted SVCB resource records with an rdata size of 65512. An attacker can cause a heap overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code or crash the process by sending a maliciously crafted DNS message from a primary server to a secondary server. This is only exploitable if the server is configured as a secondary for a zone and receives AXFR transfers from an attacker-controlled primary.
