{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-123604","details":"Hickory DNS hickory-resolver 0.26.0-beta.1 before 0.26.2 contains an unbounded retry loop in NameServerPool::try_send, which re-queues truncated (TC) responses without checking the answering transport or counting iterations. A malicious authoritative server returning TC=1 on every transport keeps the resolver spinning on a persistent TCP connection until the 5-second request deadline expires, causing resource exhaustion.","modified":"2026-11-08T16:00:09.063721125Z","published":"2026-11-08T02:16:55.273Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-123604"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-123604"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"rust-hickory-resolver","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/rust-hickory-resolver?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.24.4-1","0.24.4-2","0.24.4-3","0.24.4-4","0.24.4-5","0.25.2-1","0.25.2-2","0.26.1-1","0.26.3-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-123604.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rust-hickory-resolver","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/rust-hickory-resolver?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.26.3-1"}]}],"versions":["0.24.4-1","0.24.4-2","0.24.4-3","0.24.4-4","0.24.4-5","0.25.2-1","0.25.2-2","0.26.1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-123604.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.2","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
