The Miek Gieben DNS library is vulnerable to a denial of service caused by a segmentation violation in setTA in scan_rr.go. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file, a remote attacker can cause the application to crash.
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
