    [+] Summary    : A remote Denial-of-Service vulnerability exists in the BuptLab dns relay server developed by Agicy from Beijing University. 
                     The issue is caused by improper handling of malformed DNS packets, which may lead to a heap-based buffer underflow condition during packet parsing.
                     An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted malformed UDP DNS requests to the affected service. When the server processes the malicious packet, 
    				 memory operations may access an invalid region of the heap, potentially causing the application to crash or become unresponsive, resulting in a denial-of-service condition.
                     The vulnerability can be triggered remotely without authentication, making the service susceptible to disruption if it is exposed to untrusted networks.
                     A proof-of-concept (PoC) demonstrates that sending crafted DNS packets to the listening port can cause instability or termination of the service, depending on the environment and configuration.
