"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0485 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2025-47950:
    CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins. In versions prior to 1.12.2, a Denial of Service (DoS)
    vulnerability exists in the CoreDNS DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ) server implementation. The server previously
    created a new goroutine for every incoming QUIC stream without imposing any limits on the number of
    concurrent streams or goroutines. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could open a large number of streams,
    leading to uncontrolled memory consumption and eventually causing an Out Of Memory (OOM) crash 
    especially in containerized or memory-constrained environments. The patch in version 1.12.2 introduces two
    key mitigation mechanisms: `max_streams`, which caps the number of concurrent QUIC streams per connection
    with a default value of `256`; and `worker_pool_size`, which Introduces a server-wide, bounded worker pool
    to process incoming streams with a default value of `1024`. This eliminates the 1:1 stream-to-goroutine
    model and ensures that CoreDNS remains resilient under high concurrency.  Some workarounds are available
    for those who are unable to upgrade. Disable QUIC support by removing or commenting out the `quic://`
    block in the Corefile, use container runtime resource limits to detect and isolate excessive memory usage,
    and/or monitor QUIC connection patterns and alert on anomalies.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
