    Denial of service via crafted DoH3 queries

    An attacker can send crafted DNS over HTTP/3 queries, triggering an exception that prevents some buffer from being freed right away. The buffer will be freed at the end of the QUIC connection, but on some setups it might be possible to open enough concurrent …

    Out-of-bounds read in SetMacAddrAction

    An out-of-bounds read might happen when SetMacAddrAction is used, potentially resulting in uninitialized memory being sent over the network or a crash.

  • Medium 5.3

    Denial of service via IXFR queries

    An attacker might be able to cause outgoing TCP connections to backend to be stuck until a timeout occurs instead of being released immediately, by sending IXFR queries. This could be used to cause a denial of service if there is a limit to the number of conc…

  • Medium 4.3

    Insufficient input validation of internal web server

    An attacker can send a web request that causes unlimited memory allocation in the internal web server, leading to a denial of service. The internal web server is disabled by default.

  • Medium 5.3

    Outgoing DoH excessive memory allocation

    A client can trigger excessive memory allocation by generating a lot of queries that are routed to an overloaded DoH backend, causing queries to accumulate into a buffer that will not be released until the end of the connection.

  • Medium 5.3

    DoQ/DoH3 excessive memory allocation

    A client can trigger excessive memory allocation by generating a lot of errors responses over a single DoQ and DoH3 connection, as some resources were not properly released until the end of the connection.

  • Medium 4.8

    Out-of-bounds read in cache inspection via Lua

    A cached crafted response can cause an out-of-bounds read if custom Lua code calls getDomainListByAddress() or getAddressListByDomain() on a packet cache.

  • Medium 6.5

    Off-by-one access when processing crafted UDP responses

    A rogue backend can send a crafted UDP response with a query ID off by one related to the maximum configured value, triggering an out-of-bounds write leading to a denial of service.

  • Medium 5.3

    Resource exhaustion via DoQ/DoH3 connections

    An attacker can create a large number of concurrent DoQ or DoH3 connections, causing unlimited memory allocation in DNSdist and leading to a denial of service. DOQ and DoH3 are disabled by default.

  • Medium 5.3

    Insufficient input validation of internal webserver

    An attacker can send a web request that causes unlimited memory allocation in the internal web server, leading to a denial of service. The internal web server is disabled by default.

  • Medium 4.8

    Use after free when parsing EDNS options in Lua

    An attacker might be able to trigger a use-after-free by sending crafted DNS queries to a DNSdist using the DNSQuestion:getEDNSOptions method in custom Lua code. In some cases DNSQuestion:getEDNSOptions might refer to a version of the DNS packet that has been…

  • Medium 5.9

    Out-of-bounds write when rewriting large DNS packets

    An attacker might be able to trigger an out-of-bounds write by sending crafted DNS responses to a DNSdist using the DNSQuestion:changeName or DNSResponse:changeName methods in custom Lua code. In some cases the rewritten packet might become larger than the in…

  • Medium 5.3

    Unbounded memory allocation for DoQ and DoH3

    An attacker might be able to trick DNSdist into allocating too much memory while processing DNS over QUIC or DNS over HTTP/3 payloads, resulting in a denial of service. In setups with a large quantity of memory available this usually results in an exception a…

  • Medium 6.5

    DNS over HTTPS ACL bypass

    When the early_acl_drop (earlyACLDrop in Lua) option is disabled (default is enabled) on a DNS over HTTPs frontend using the nghttp2 provider, the ACL check is skipped, allowing all clients to send DoH queries regardless of the configured ACL.

  • Medium 5.3

    Out-of-bounds read when parsing DNS packets via Lua

    An attacker might be able to trigger an out-of-bounds read by sending a crafted DNS response packet, when custom Lua code uses newDNSPacketOverlay to parse DNS packets. The out-of-bounds read might trigger a crash, leading to a denial of service, or access un…

  • Medium 5.9

    An issue has been found in PowerDNS DNSDist before 1.3.3 allowing a remote attacker to craft a DNS query with trailing …

  • Medium 5.9

    An issue has been found in dnsdist before 1.2.0 in the way EDNS0 OPT records are handled when parsing responses from a …
