    CoreDNS DoH/DoQ/gRPC bypass UPDATE rejection enforced on UDP/TCP

    CoreDNS is a DNS server written in Go. Prior to 1.14.7, the DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-HTTP/3, DNS-over-QUIC, and DNS-over-gRPC listeners in plugin/pkg/doh/doh.go, core/dnsserver/server_quic.go, and core/dnsserver/server_grpc.go call dns.Msg.Unpack without the …

    CoreDNS: Unauthenticated memory exhaustion in custom transports

    CoreDNS is a DNS server written in Go. Prior to 1.14.7, the DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-HTTP/3, DNS-over-QUIC, and DNS-over-gRPC request paths in plugin/pkg/doh/doh.go, core/dnsserver/server_quic.go, and core/dnsserver/server_grpc.go call dns.Msg.Unpack on attac…

    CoreDNS `k8s_external` headless AXFR can emit an empty transfer batch that panics the `transfer` plugin

    CoreDNS is a DNS server written in Go. From 1.9.4 until 1.14.5, a network DNS client allowed to request AXFR for a CoreDNS zone can trigger a panic when CoreDNS is configured with k8s_external headless-service zone transfers and Kubernetes contains a headless…

  • High 8.2

    CoreDNS TSIG authentication bypass on gRPC, QUIC, DoH, and DoH3 transports

    CoreDNS is a DNS server written in Go. In versions prior to 1.14.3, the gRPC, QUIC, DoH, and DoH3 transport implementations incorrectly handle TSIG authentication. For gRPC and QUIC, the server checks whether the TSIG key name exists in the configuration but …

  • High 8.2

    CoreDNS transfer plugin subzone ACL bypass via lexicographic zone comparison

    CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins. In versions prior to 1.14.3, the transfer plugin can select the wrong ACL stanza when both a parent zone and a more-specific subzone are configured. The longestMatch() function in plugin/transfer/transfer.go uses a…

  • High 8.7

    CoreDNS DoH GET path missing size validation causes CPU and memory amplification

    CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins. In versions prior to 1.14.3, the DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) GET path accepts oversized dns= query parameter values and performs URL query parsing, base64 decoding, and DNS message unpacking before rejecting the request. …

  • High 8.7

    CoreDNS DNS-over-QUIC unbounded goroutine growth leads to denial of service

    CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins. In versions prior to 1.14.3, the DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ) server can be driven into unbounded goroutine and memory growth by a remote client that opens many QUIC streams and sends only 1 byte per stream. When the worker…

  • High 8.7

    CoreDNS TSIG authentication bypass on encrypted DNS transports

    CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins. In versions prior to 1.14.3, the tsig plugin can be bypassed on non-plain-DNS transports (DoT, DoH, DoH3, DoQ, and gRPC) because it trusts the transport writer's TsigStatus() instead of performing verification itse…

  • High 7.7

    CoreDNS ACL Bypass

    CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins. Prior to version 1.14.2, a logical vulnerability in CoreDNS allows DNS access controls to be bypassed due to the default execution order of plugins. Security plugins such as acl are evaluated before the rewrite plu…

  • High 7.5

    CoreDNS Loop Detection Denial of Service Vulnerability

    CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins. Prior to version 1.14.2, a denial of service vulnerability exists in CoreDNS's loop detection plugin that allows an attacker to crash the DNS server by sending specially crafted DNS queries. The vulnerability stems…

  • Medium 6.6

    CoreDNS gRPC/HTTPS/HTTP3 servers lack resource limits, enabling DoS via unbounded connections and oversized messages

    CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins. Prior to version 1.14.0, multiple CoreDNS server implementations (gRPC, HTTPS, and HTTP/3) lack critical resource-limiting controls. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exhaust memory and degrade or crash the se…

  • High 7.1

    CoreDNS: DNS Cache Pinning via etcd Lease ID Confusion

    CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins. Starting in version 1.2.0 and prior to version 1.12.4, the CoreDNS etcd plugin contains a TTL confusion vulnerability where lease IDs are incorrectly used as TTL values, enabling DNS cache pinning attacks. This eff…

  • High 7.5

    CoreDNS Vulnerable to DoQ Memory Exhaustion via Stream Amplification

    CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins. In versions prior to 1.12.2, a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the CoreDNS DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ) server implementation. The server previously created a new goroutine for every incoming QUIC stream wit…

  • High 7.5

    CoreDNS vulnerable to TuDoor Attacks

    An issue was discovered in CoreDNS through 1.10.1. There is a vulnerability in DNS resolving software, which triggers a resolver to ignore valid responses, thus causing denial of service for normal resolution. In an exploit, the attacker could just forge a re…

  • High 7.5

    CoreDNS Cache Poisoning via a birthday attack

    CoreDNS through 1.10.1 enables attackers to achieve DNS cache poisoning and inject fake responses via a birthday attack.

  • Medium 5.3

    Coredns: cd bit response is cached and served later

    A flaw was found in coredns. This issue could lead to invalid cache entries returning due to incorrectly implemented caching.

  • Medium 6.1

    coreDNS vulnerable to Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints

    A flaw was found in coreDNS. This flaw allows a malicious user to redirect traffic intended for external top-level domains (TLD) to a pod they control by creating projects and namespaces that match the TLD.

  • Medium 4.4

    coreDNS vulnerable to Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints

    A flaw was found in coreDNS. This flaw allows a malicious user to reroute internal calls to some internal services that were accessed by the FQDN in a format of <service>.<namespace>.svc.

    Improper random number generation in github.com/coredns/coredns

    ### Impact CoreDNS before 1.6.6 (using go DNS package < 1.1.25) improperly generates random numbers because math/rand is used. The TXID becomes predictable, leading to response forgeries. ### Patches The problem has been fixed in 1.6.6+. ### References - [CVE…
