Last modified
CVE-2017-9109 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. An issue was discovered in adns before 1.5.2. It fails to ignore apparent answers before the first RR that was found the first time. EPSS estimates a 2.05% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
An issue was discovered in adns before 1.5.2. It fails to ignore apparent answers before the first RR that was found the first time. when this is fixed, the second answer scan finds the same RRs at the first. Otherwise, adns can be confused by interleaving answers for the CNAME target, with the CNAME itself. In that case the answer data structure (on the heap) can be overrun. With this fixed, it prefers to look only at the answer RRs which come after the CNAME, which is at least arguably correct.
