Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for dnsdist.

CVE-2025-30193[0]:
| In some circumstances, when DNSdist is configured to allow an
| unlimited number of queries on a single, incoming TCP connection
| from a client, an attacker can cause a denial of service by crafting
| a TCP exchange that triggers an exhaustion of the stack and a crash
| of DNSdist, causing a denial of service.  The remedy is: upgrade to
| the patched 1.9.10 version.  A workaround is to restrict the maximum
| number of queries on incoming TCP connections to a safe value, like
| 50, via the setMaxTCPQueriesPerConnection setting.  We would like to
| thank Renaud Allard for bringing this issue to our attention.
