High · 7.5 Public exploit CVE-2024-0760 EUVD-2024-16548GHSA-v3r3-642v-rqj8

A flood of DNS messages over TCP may make the server unstable

Published Jul 23, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025 · Assigned by isc

Description

A malicious client can send many DNS messages over TCP, potentially causing the server to become unstable while the attack is in progress. The server may recover after the attack ceases. Use of ACLs will not mitigate the attack.
