Detail

The compress_add_dlabel_points function in dns/Compress.c in MaraDNS 1.4.03, 1.4.05, and probably other versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long DNS hostname with a large number of labels, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Id Description
70630 MaraDNS dns/Compress.c compress_add_dlabel_points() Function Remote Overflow DoS

MaraDNS is prone to an overflow condition. The 'compress_add_dlabel_points()' function in 'dns/Compress.c' fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, a remote attacker can potentially cause a denial of service.
