Doc Text:
A flaw was found in hickory-proto. This vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by providing untrusted DNS zone files with malformed Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) values. Inadequate validation in the Service Binding (SVCB) and HTTPS record presentation format parser causes an unhandled panic, crashing the parsing process when encountering improperly formatted input.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-08 02:01:57 UTC
Hickory-dns from 0.20.1 before 0.26.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the hickory-proto SVCB and HTTPS record presentation format parser, which panics on malformed alpn values. Attackers can supply untrusted zone files with unbalanced quotes, consecutive commas, or invalid escapes in alpn parameters to crash parsing processes.
