High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Net::DNS versions prior to 0.60

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically stack consumption, via a malformed compressed DNS packet with self-referencing pointers. This triggers an infinite loop, leading to disruption of protected information. The exploitation of this issue can be carried out remotely.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 0.60, update to version 0.60 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the DNS packet processing functionality until a patch is available.
