VAR-201702-0036

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2023-12-18 10:54

Knot DNS before 2.3.0 allows remote DNS servers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion and slave server crash) via a large zone transfer for (1) DDNS, (2) AXFR, or (3) IXFR. Multiple DNS Servers are prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to cause a denial-of-service condition, denying service to legitimate users
