CVE-2024-25581 (GCVE-0-2024-25581)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-05-13 11:49 – Updated: 2025-02-13 17:40
VLAI?
Summary
When incoming DNS over HTTPS support is enabled using the nghttp2 provider, and queries are routed to a tcp-only or DNS over TLS backend, an attacker can trigger an assertion failure in DNSdist by sending a request for a zone transfer (AXFR or IXFR) over DNS over HTTPS, causing the process to stop and thus leading to a Denial of Service. DNS over HTTPS is not enabled by default, and backends are using plain DNS (Do53) by default.
Severity ?
