Description Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2024-02-14 07:27:15 UTC
Knot Resolver 5.7.1 released

CVE-2023-50868: NSEC3 closest encloser proof can exhaust CPU

        validator: lower the NSEC3 iteration limit (150 -> 50)
        validator: similarly also limit excessive NSEC3 salt length
        cache: limit the amount of work on SHA1 in NSEC3 aggressive cache
        validator: limit the amount of work on SHA1 in NSEC3 proofs
        validator: refuse to validate answers with more than 8 NSEC3 records

CVE-2023-50387 "KeyTrap": DNSSEC verification complexity could be exploited to exhaust CPU resources and stall DNS resolvers. Solution boils down mainly to limiting crypto-validations per packet.
