CVE-2026-101341

HighCVSS 8.7
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A vulnerability in NSD involves text tokens in RDATA (e.g., TXT records) under 32 bytes not being checked to stay within the reserved space, allowing arbitrary sized out-of-bounds stack writes, including overwriting a callback function pointer.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can exploit this for remote code execution or DNS service crashes, leading to infrastructure downtime.

Recommendation

Update NSD to a patched version and verify zone file sources.

Original NVD description (English source)

Tokens of text in RDATA (of for example TXT records) under 32 bytes are not checked to stay within the space reserved for the RDATA allowing for arbitrary sized out of bound stack writes, including an overwrite of a callback function pointer which is called directly after parse. Zone files which are written out by NSD itself, such for zones for which the NSD instance is secondary, will not be formatted like this. The zone file must be fed to NSD directly, (but it could come, for example, from an operator controlled provisioning system).
