Description Marco Benatto 2026-06-29 13:48:52 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

If NSD is configured with DNS over TLS, a client that performs a TLS action, closing the connection early, causes a crash and restart of the server process. An attacker can keep all children in a crash-restart loop denying DoT service.
