NSD vulnerabilities

Published Jun 25, 2026 · Updated Jun 29, 2026

Summary

It was discovered that NSD incorrectly handled APL resource records with an
address length larger than permitted for the address family. A remote attacker
could use this to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when the zone is written
to disk, potentially executing arbitrary code with the privileges of the NSD
server. (CVE-2026-12246)

It was discovered that NSD incorrectly handled SVCB resource records. A remote
attacker could use this to cause a heap overflow, potentially executing
arbitrary code with the privileges of the NSD server. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-12244)

It was discovered that NSD had a use-after-free vulnerability in TLS
connection error logging. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial
of service by crashing the server process. This issue only affected Ubuntu
26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-12245)

It was discovered that NSD incorrectly handled TLS authentication for zone
transfers. An attacker could bypass transfer security restrictions when
