Summary:PowerDNS Authoritative Server is prone to a denial of service vulnerability; via crafted zone records.
Description:Summary:
PowerDNS Authoritative Server is prone to a denial of service vulnerability
via crafted zone records.

Vulnerability Insight:
An issue has been found in PowerDNS Authoritative Server allowing an
authorized user to cause the server to exit by inserting a crafted record in a MASTER type zone under their
control. The issue is due to the fact that the Authoritative Server will exit when it tries to store the
notified serial in the PostgreSQL database, if this serial cannot be represented in 31 bits.

Note: Just installations using PostgreSQL as a backend are affected.

Affected Software/OS:
PowerDNS Authoritative 4.1.10 and prior. Although the advisory is stating
that version 4.0.9 and 4.1.11 are not affected they still might be vulnerable if the mitigation steps are not
applied.

Solution:
See the referenced vendor advisory for mitigation steps.
