Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the aresdnsnameparse function due to a lack of limits on the total pointer hops or assembled name length when processing DNS compression pointers. An attacker can cause excessive C...

CVE-2026-69184 c-ares: CPU-exhaustion denial of service via unbounded DNS name compression pointer chains

c-ares is an asynchronous resolver library. Prior to 1.34.7, aresdnsnameparse enforces backward DNS compression pointers but does not bound the total pointer hops or assembled name length. A malicious DNS server can send a response containing a long descending pointer chain and many resource...

CVE-2026-64194: Uncontrolled Recursion

Net::DNS versions through 1.55 for Perl allow Denial of Service via deep DNS compression pointer chains. Net::DNS::DomainName::decode follows RFC 1035 compression pointers by recursing into itself with no depth limit. It is possible to construct a name which saturates the call stack at least with...

Twisted has a Denial of Service (DoS) in twisted.names via Crafted DNS Compression Pointer Chains

Details The twisted.names module is vulnerable to a Denial of Service DoS attack via resource exhaustion during DNS name decompression. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted TCP DNS packet containing deeply chained compression pointers. This flaw bypasses previo...
