Summary

PowerDNS: Mehrere Schwachstellen ermöglichen Denial of Service

Severity

Mittel

Scope

3 vulnerabilities in this advisory, including CVE-2018-10851.

CVE-2018-10851

Es existiert eine Schwachstelle in PowerDNS. Vor dem Parsen wird Speicher allokiert und bei einem fehlerhaften Datensatz nicht mehr richtig freigegeben. Ein autorisierter Angreifer kann einen speziell gestalteten Datensatz in eine Zone die sich unter seiner Kontrolle befindet einfügen und dann eine DNS Abfrage für diesen Datensatz senden. In der Folge wird ein Speicherfehler verursacht, was zu einem Denial of Service führt.

Known affected: 4 products
