      <title>GHSA-q2qq-hmj6-3wpp — hickory-proto vulnerable to CPU exhaustion during message encoding due to O(n²) name compression</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/ghsa-q2qq-hmj6-3wpp</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; crates.io: hickory-proto&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During message encoding, `hickory-proto`&amp;#39;s `BinEncoder` stores pointers to labels that are candidates for name compression in a `Vec&amp;lt;(usize, Vec&amp;lt;u8&amp;gt;)&amp;gt;`. The name compression logic then searches for matches with a linear scan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A malicious message with many records can both introduce many candidate labels, and invoke this linear scan many times. This can amplify CPU exhaustion in DoS attacks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is similar to [CVE-2024-8508](https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/downloads/unbound/CVE-2024-8508.txt).&lt;/p&gt;
