PowerDNS Security Advisory 2022-02: incomplete exception handling
related to protobuf message generation
CVE: CVE-2022-37428
Date: 23th of August 2022.
Affects: PowerDNS Recursor up to and including 4.5.9, 4.6.2 and 4.7.1
Not affected: PowerDNS Recursor 4.5.10, 4.6.3 and 4.7.2
Severity: Medium
Impact: Denial of service
Exploit: This problem can be triggered by a remote attacker with
access to the recursor if protobuf logging is enabled
Risk of system compromise: None
Solution: Upgrade to patched version, disable protobuf logging of responses
This issue only affects recursors which have protobuf logging enabled
using the
* protobufServer function with logResponses=true or
* outgoingProtobufServer function with logResponses=true
If either of these functions is used without specifying logResponses,
its value is true.
An attacker needs to have access to the recursor, i.e. the remote IP
must be in the access control list.
If an attacker queries a name that leads to an answer with specific
properties, a protobuf message might be generated that causes an
exception. The code does not handle this exception correctly, causing a
denial of service.
