Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-02-26 17:49:39 UTC
CVE-2023-26249:

Knot Resolver before 5.6.0 enables attackers to consume its resources, launching amplification attacks and potentially causing a denial of service. Specifically, a single client query may lead to a hundred TCP connection attempts if a DNS server closes connections without providing a response.

Please stabilize 5.6.0.
