Lifecycle Timeline
4Description
An attacker might be able to trigger an out-of-bounds read by sending a crafted DNS response packet, when custom Lua code uses newDNSPacketOverlay to parse DNS packets. The out-of-bounds read might trigger a crash, leading to a denial of service, or access unrelated memory, leading to potential information disclosure.
Analysis
Out-of-bounds read in PowerDNS dnsdist allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger denial of service or potential information disclosure by sending a crafted DNS response packet when custom Lua code uses the newDNSPacketOverlay function to parse packets. CVSS 5.3 indicates moderate severity with network-accessible attack surface and no privilege or user interaction required.
