yadifa

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 876315.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2017-14339.

More information:

It was discovered that YADIFA, an authoritative DNS server, did not sufficiently check its input. This allowed a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service by forcing the daemon to enter an infinite loop.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.3-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your yadifa packages.
