CVE-2023-32067

Public on 2023-05-23
Modified on 2024-02-07
Description
Denial of Service.

Attack Steps:

The target resolver sends a query
The attacker forges a malformed UDP packet with a length of 0 and returns them to the target resolver
The target resolver erroneously interprets the 0 length as a graceful shutdown of the connection. (this is only valid for TCP connections, UDP is connection-less)
Current resolution fails, DoS attack is achieved.
