1) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38178)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the DNSSEC verification code for the EdDSA algorithm. A remote attacker can spoof the target resolver with responses that have a malformed EdDSA signature and perform denial of service attack.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3080)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when resolvers are configured to answer from stale cache with zero stale-answer-client-timeout and there is a stale CNAME in the cache for an incoming query. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the DNS resolver and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38177)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the DNSSEC verification code for the ECDSA algorithm. A remote attacker can spoof the target resolver with responses that have a malformed ECDSA signature and perform denial of service attack.


4) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2795)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when processing large delegations. A remote attacker can flood the target resolver with queries and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
