An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-8418 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- aardvark-dns (crates.io): affected from 1.12.0; fixed in 1.12.2\n- aardvark-dns (crates.io): affected from 1.12.0; fixed in 1.12.2\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8418/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8418/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-8418","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8418/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-8418","record":{"aliases":["ALSA-2025:7094","BELL-CVE-2024-8418","CLEANSTART-2025-BG45728","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-8418","GHSA-g5jh-57wm-p79m","RHSA-2025:7094","RLSA-2025:7094","openSUSE-SU-2024:14319-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Aardvark DNS server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause denial of service in Aardvark DNS by keeping TCP connections open, blocking legitimate DNS queries.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"aardvark-dns","vendor":"containers"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"A flaw was found in Aardvark-dns, which is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack due to the serial processing of TCP DNS queries.
