{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-123608","details":"Hickory DNS hickory-proto from 0.3.1 before 0.26.1 contains a denial of service vulnerability in BinEncoder that allows remote attackers to exhaust CPU through quadratic-time name compression. Attackers can send malicious DNS messages with many records that add many candidate labels and trigger repeated linear scans during encoding, amplifying CPU exhaustion.","modified":"2026-11-10T02:50:22.236336910Z","published":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-123608"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-123608"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-123608"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2026-0119.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/hickory-dns/hickory-dns/security/advisories/GHSA-q2qq-hmj6-3wpp"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/hickory-dns-hickory-proto-0.3.1-before-0.26.1-cpu-exhaustion-via-binencoder-name-compression"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"rust-hickory-proto","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/rust-hickory-proto?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.24.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"librust-hickory-proto-dev","binary_version":"0.24.0-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-123608.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rust-hickory-proto","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/rust-hickory-proto?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.24.4-4.1","0.24.4-6"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"librust-hickory-proto-dev","binary_version":"0.24.4-6"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-123608.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"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
