Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.147858
Category:Denial of Service
Title:PowerDNS Recursor DoS Vulnerability (2022-01)
Summary:PowerDNS Recursor is prone to a denial of service (DoS); vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
PowerDNS Recursor is prone to a denial of service (DoS)
vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
IXFR usually exchanges only the modifications between two
versions of a zone, but sometimes needs to fall back to a full transfer of the current version.
When IXFR falls back to a full zone transfer, an attacker in position of man-in-the-middle can
cause the transfer to be prematurely interrupted. This interrupted transfer is mistakenly
interpreted as a complete transfer, causing an incomplete zone to be processed.

Affected Software/OS:
PowerDNS Recursor version 4.4.7, 4.5.7 and 4.6.0.

Solution:
Update to version 4.4.8, 4.5.8, 4.6.1 or later.

CVSS Score:
4.3

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
