**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
systemd versions 223 through 235
**Description**
The issue allows a remote DNS server to respond with a custom crafted DNS NSEC resource record, triggering an infinite loop in the `dns packet read type window()` function of the 'systemd-resolved' service. This can cause a denial of service (DoS) of the affected service.
**Recommendations**
For versions 223 through 235, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `dns packet read type window()` function until a patch is available.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
