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. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
