CVE-2009-0858 (GCVE-0-2009-0858)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2009-03-09 21:00 – Updated: 2024-08-07 04:48
VLAI
Summary
The response_addname function in response.c in Daniel J. Bernstein djbdns 1.05 and earlier does not constrain offsets in the required manner, which allows remote attackers, with control over a third-party subdomain served by tinydns and axfrdns, to trigger DNS responses containing arbitrary records via crafted zone data for this subdomain.
Severity
