Sicherheitslücken in knot-resolver

CVE-2026-66374

Knot Resolver before 6.4.1 allows remote code execution via a heap-based buffer overflow in the DoQ (DNS-over-QUIC) receive path.

CVE-2023-50868

The Closest Encloser Proof aspect of the DNS protocol (in RFC 5155 when RFC 9276 guidance is skipped) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption for SHA-1 computations) via DNSSEC responses in a random subdomain attack, aka the "NSEC3" issue. The RFC 5155 specification implies that an algorithm must perform thousands of iterations of a hash function in certain situations.

CVE-2023-50387

Certain DNSSEC aspects of the DNS protocol (in RFC 4033, 4034, 4035, 6840, and related RFCs) allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via one or more DNSSEC responses, aka the "KeyTrap" issue. One of the concerns is that, when there is a zone with many DNSKEY and RRSIG records, the protocol specification implies that an algorithm must evaluate all combinations of DNSKEY and RRSIG records.

CVE-2023-46317

Knot Resolver before 5.7.0 performs many TCP reconnections upon receiving certain nonsensical responses from servers.

CVE-2023-26249

Knot Resolver before 5.6.0 enables attackers to consume its resources, launching amplification attacks and potentially causing a denial of service. Specifically, a single client query may lead to a hundred TCP connection attempts if a DNS server closes connections without providing a response.

CVE-2022-40188

Knot Resolver before 5.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) because of algorithmic complexity. During an attack, an authoritative server must return large NS sets or address sets.

CVE-2022-32983

Knot Resolver through 5.5.1 may allow DNS cache poisoning when there is an attempt to limit forwarding actions by filters.

CVE-2018-1110

A flaw was found in knot-resolver before version 2.3.0. Malformed DNS messages may cause denial of service.

CVE-2020-12667

Knot Resolver before 5.1.1 allows traffic amplification via a crafted DNS answer from an attacker-controlled server, aka an "NXNSAttack" issue. This is triggered by random subdomains in the NSDNAME in NS records.

CVE-2019-19331

knot-resolver before version 4.3.0 is vulnerable to denial of service through high CPU utilization. DNS replies with very many resource records might be processed very inefficiently, in extreme cases taking even several CPU seconds for each such uncached message. For example, a few thousand A records can be squashed into one DNS message (limit is 64kB).

CVE-2019-10191

A vulnerability was discovered in DNS resolver of knot resolver before version 4.1.0 which allows remote attackers to downgrade DNSSEC-secure domains to DNSSEC-insecure state, opening possibility of domain hijack using attacks against insecure DNS protocol.

CVE-2018-10920

Improper input validation bug in DNS resolver component of Knot Resolver before 2.4.1 allows remote attacker to poison cache.
