- Fixed in
- 1.12.2· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- A flaw was found in Aardvark-dns versions 1.12.0 and 1.12.1. They contain a denial of service vulnerability due to serial processing of TCP DNS queries. This flaw allows a malicious client to keep a TCP connection open indefinitely, causing other DNS queries to time out and resulting in a denial of service for all other containers using aardvark-dns.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.12.2 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
