CVE-2017-7557 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-05-13 6.8 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
dnsdist version 1.1.0 is vulnerable to a flaw in authentication mechanism for REST API potentially allowing CSRF attack.
CVE-2026-33257 1 Powerdns 3 Authoritative, Dnsdist, Recursor 2026-04-27 N/A 5.3 MEDIUM
An attacker can send a web request that causes unlimited memory allocation in the internal web server, leading to a denial of service. The internal web server is disabled by default.
CVE-2026-33260 1 Powerdns 3 Authoritative, Dnsdist, Recursor 2026-04-27 N/A 5.3 MEDIUM
An attacker can send a web request that causes unlimited memory allocation in the internal web server, leading to a denial of service. The internal web server is disabled by default.
CVE-2026-33254 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-04-27 N/A 5.3 MEDIUM
An attacker can create a large number of concurrent DoQ or DoH3 connections, causing unlimited memory allocation in DNSdist and leading to a denial of service. DOQ and DoH3 are disabled by default.
CVE-2026-33602 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-04-24 N/A 6.5 MEDIUM
A rogue backend can send a crafted UDP response with a query ID off by one related to the maximum configured value, triggering an out-of-bounds write leading to a denial of service.
CVE-2026-33599 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-04-24 N/A 3.1 LOW
A rogue backend can send a crafted SVCB response to a Discovery of Designated Resolvers request, when requested via either the autoUpgrade (Lua) option to newServer or auto_upgrade (YAML) settings. DDR upgrade is not enabled by default.
CVE-2026-33598 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-04-24 N/A 4.8 MEDIUM
A cached crafted response can cause an out-of-bounds read if custom Lua code calls getDomainListByAddress() or getAddressListByDomain() on a packet cache.
CVE-2026-33597 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-04-24 N/A 3.7 LOW
PRSD detection denial of service
CVE-2026-33596 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-04-24 N/A 3.1 LOW
A client might theoretically be able to cause a mismatch between queries sent to a backend and the received responses by sending a flood of perfectly timed queries that are routed to a TCP-only or DNS over TLS backend.
CVE-2026-33595 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-04-24 N/A 5.3 MEDIUM
A client can trigger excessive memory allocation by generating a lot of errors responses over a single DoQ and DoH3 connection, as some resources were not properly released until the end of the connection.
CVE-2026-33593 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-04-24 N/A 7.5 HIGH
A client can trigger a divide by zero error leading to crash by sending a crafted DNSCrypt query.
CVE-2026-33594 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-04-24 N/A 5.3 MEDIUM
A client can trigger excessive memory allocation by generating a lot of queries that are routed to an overloaded DoH backend, causing queries to accumulate into a buffer that will not be released until the end of the connection.
CVE-2026-0397 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-04-14 N/A 3.1 LOW
When the internal webserver is enabled (default is disabled), an attacker might be able to trick an administrator logged to the dashboard into visiting a malicious website and extract information about the running configuration from the dashboard. The root cause of the issue is a misconfiguration of the Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) policy.
CVE-2026-24028 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-04-14 N/A 5.3 MEDIUM
An attacker might be able to trigger an out-of-bounds read by sending a crafted DNS response packet, when custom Lua code uses newDNSPacketOverlay to parse DNS packets. The out-of-bounds read might trigger a crash, leading to a denial of service, or access unrelated memory, leading to potential information disclosure.
CVE-2026-24029 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-04-14 N/A 6.5 MEDIUM
When the early_acl_drop (earlyACLDrop in Lua) option is disabled (default is enabled) on a DNS over HTTPs frontend using the nghttp2 provider, the ACL check is skipped, allowing all clients to send DoH queries regardless of the configured ACL.
CVE-2026-24030 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-04-14 N/A 5.3 MEDIUM
An attacker might be able to trick DNSdist into allocating too much memory while processing DNS over QUIC or DNS over HTTP/3 payloads, resulting in a denial of service. In setups with a large quantity of memory available this usually results in an exception and the QUIC connection is properly closed, but in some cases the system might enter an out-of-memory state instead and terminate the process.
CVE-2026-27853 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-04-14 N/A 5.9 MEDIUM
An attacker might be able to trigger an out-of-bounds write by sending crafted DNS responses to a DNSdist using the DNSQuestion:changeName or DNSResponse:changeName methods in custom Lua code. In some cases the rewritten packet might become larger than the initial response and even exceed 65535 bytes, potentially leading to a crash resulting in denial of service.
CVE-2026-27854 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-04-14 N/A 4.8 MEDIUM
An attacker might be able to trigger a use-after-free by sending crafted DNS queries to a DNSdist using the DNSQuestion:getEDNSOptions method in custom Lua code. In some cases DNSQuestion:getEDNSOptions might refer to a version of the DNS packet that has been modified, thus triggering a use-after-free and potentially a crash resulting in denial of service.
CVE-2026-0396 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2026-04-13 N/A 3.1 LOW
An attacker might be able to inject HTML content into the internal web dashboard by sending crafted DNS queries to a DNSdist instance where domain-based dynamic rules have been enabled via either DynBlockRulesGroup:setSuffixMatchRule or DynBlockRulesGroup:setSuffixMatchRuleFFI.
CVE-2018-14663 1 Powerdns 1 Dnsdist 2024-11-21 4.3 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
An issue has been found in PowerDNS DNSDist before 1.3.3 allowing a remote attacker to craft a DNS query with trailing data such that the addition of a record by dnsdist, for example an OPT record when adding EDNS Client Subnet, might result in the trailing data being smuggled to the backend as a valid record while not seen by dnsdist. This is an issue when dnsdist is deployed as a DNS Firewall and used to filter some records that should not be received by the backend. This issue occurs only when either the 'useClientSubnet' or the experimental 'addXPF' parameters are used when declaring a new backend.
