CVE-2023-50387

bind9: KeyTrap - Extreme CPU consumption in DNSSEC validator

Published Feb 14, 2024 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS 100.0% KEV · Not listed
Description
Certain DNSSEC aspects of the DNS protocol (in RFC 4033, 4034, 4035, 6840, and related RFCs) allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via one or more DNSSEC responses, aka the "KeyTrap" issue. One of the concerns is that, when there is a zone with many DNSKEY and RRSIG records, the protocol specification implies that an algorithm must evaluate all combinations of DNSKEY and RRSIG records.
