"The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
CENTOS7:CLSA-2026:1789389792 advisory.
- An issue was discovered in the resolv gem before 0.7.2 for Ruby. Resolv::DNS::Resource.get_class,
Resolv::DNS::Resource::Generic.create, and Resolv::DNS::SvcParam::Generic.create generate a new class for
each unknown DNS resource record (type, class) pair, or each unknown SvcParamKey, encountered while
decoding a response. Each generated class was permanently registered both as a constant on Resource (or
SvcParam::Generic) and as an entry in a class-lookup hash (ClassHash), and thus the class remained
reachable through that constant after the response was discarded. Type and class are each 16-bit values,
and thus an attacker controlling DNS responses (a spoofed response, or a malicious or hijacked upstream
DNS server) has roughly 2^32 distinct (type, class) pairs to choose from. A single response of a few
hundred kilobytes carrying tens of thousands of distinct unknown types permanently grows process memory by
tens of megabytes; repeated responses accumulate without bound and are never reclaimed by garbage
collection, because the constant keeps each class alive. Any code path that calls
Resolv::DNS::Message.decode on attacker-influenced DNS responses is affected. resolv is a default gem, and
thus this is reachable from a plain Ruby installation without any additional dependency. (CVE-2026-80212)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
