Knot-resolver Security Vulnerabilities

CVE-2023-50387

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....

CVE-2023-46317

Knot Resolver before 5.7.0 performs many TCP reconnections upon receiving certain nonsensical responses from...

CVE-2023-26249

Knot Resolver before 5.6.0 enables attackers to consume its resources, launching amplification attacks and potentially causing a denial of service. Specifically, a single client query may lead to a hundred TCP connection attempts if a DNS server closes connections without providing a...

CVE-2022-40188

Knot Resolver before 5.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) because of algorithmic complexity. During an attack, an authoritative server must return large NS sets or address...

CVE-2022-32983

Knot Resolver through 5.5.1 may allow DNS cache poisoning when there is an attempt to limit forwarding actions by...

CVE-2021-40083

Knot Resolver before 5.3.2 is prone to an assertion failure, triggerable by a remote attacker in an edge case (NSEC3 with too many iterations used for a positive wildcard...

CVE-2018-1110

A flaw was found in knot-resolver before version 2.3.0. Malformed DNS messages may cause denial of...

CVE-2020-12667

Knot Resolver before 5.1.1 allows traffic amplification via a crafted DNS answer from an attacker-controlled server, aka an "NXNSAttack" issue. This is triggered by random subdomains in the NSDNAME in NS...

CVE-2019-19331

knot-resolver before version 4.3.0 is vulnerable to denial of service through high CPU utilization. DNS replies with very many resource records might be processed very inefficiently, in extreme cases taking even several CPU seconds for each such uncached message. For example, a few thousand A...

CVE-2013-5661

Cache Poisoning issue exists in DNS Response Rate...

CVE-2019-10190

A vulnerability was discovered in DNS resolver component of knot resolver through version 3.2.0 before 4.1.0 which allows remote attackers to bypass DNSSEC validation for non-existence answer. NXDOMAIN answer would get passed through to the client even if its DNSSEC validation failed, instead of...

CVE-2019-10191

A vulnerability was discovered in DNS resolver of knot resolver before version 4.1.0 which allows remote attackers to downgrade DNSSEC-secure domains to DNSSEC-insecure state, opening possibility of domain hijack using attacks against insecure DNS...

CVE-2018-10920

Improper input validation bug in DNS resolver component of Knot Resolver before 2.4.1 allows remote attacker to poison...

CVE-2018-1000002

Improper input validation bugs in DNSSEC validators components in Knot Resolver (prior version 1.5.2) allow attacker in man-in-the-middle position to deny existence of some data in DNS via packet...
