Trapster Community: Unauthenticated malformed DNS compression pointers crash per-packet honeypot handler
## Summary `trapster.libs.dns.decode_labels()` decodes DNS names from attacker-supplied UDP packets and recurses **once per RFC 1035 compression pointer** with **no cycle detection and no depth bound**. A single unauthenticated UDP datagram sent to the DNS honeypot drives the function past CPython's recursion limit, raising `RecursionError`. That exception is not handled anywhere on the `datagram_received` path, so it escapes into the asyncio event loop's default exception handler, the per-packet proxy task is never created, and a low-rate flood produces sustained CPU burn and log flooding (denial of service of the DNS honeypot module). ##
