Tracker summary

CVE-2011-0520 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 1 source packages (maradns), 1 status rows across 1 suites (bullseye): resolved 1.

Description:

The compress_add_dlabel_points function in dns/Compress.c in MaraDNS 1.4.03, 1.4.05, and probably other versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long DNS hostname with a large number of labels, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
