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-2024-8508 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- hickory-proto (crates.io): affected from 0.3.1; fixed in 0.26.1\n- hickory-proto (crates.io): affected from 0.3.1; fixed in 0.26.1\n- hickory-proto (crates.io): affected from 0.3.1; fixed in 0.26.1\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-2024-8508/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8508/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-8508","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8508/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-8508","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2024-8508","ALSA-2024:11232","ALSA-2025:8047","AZL-49915","AZL-49976","CLSA-2025-1736503760","CLSA-2025-1765901537","CLSA-2025-1765902454","CLSA-2025-1765997462","CLSA-2026-1769424072","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-8508","DLA-3952-1","GHSA-g7cv-x9wx-38gx","GHSA-q2qq-hmj6-3wpp","MGASA-2024-0333","MINI-63xp-c6mr-qcr6","MINI-77fj-98x5-xqwx","MINI-8jcf-533w-c682","MINI-fj9r-4xj9-qf72","MINI-gmgv-8p85-8777","MINI-m9gw-xh58-9vx2","MINI-mw6m-prxp-35m3","OESA-2024-2266","RHSA-2024:11170","RHSA-2024:11232","RHSA-2025:8047","RHSA-2025:8197","RLSA-2024:11232","RLSA-2025:8047","RLSA-2025:8197","RUSTSEC-2026-0119","SUSE-SU-2024:3646-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3647-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20126-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20359-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-8508","USN-7080-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:14391-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"DNS resolver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service in Unbound DNS resolver by sending malicious responses with large RRsets, forcing excessive CPU usage during name compression.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"NLnet Labs","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"unbound","vendor":"nlnetlabs"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1284","name":"Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input"},{"id":"CWE-606","name":"Unchecked Input for Loop Condition"}],"description":"NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including version 1.21.0 contains a vulnerability when handling replies with very large RRsets that it needs to perform name compression for. Malicious upstreams responses with very large RRsets can cause Unbound to spend a considerable time applying name compression to downstream replies. This can lead to degraded performance and eventually denial of service in well orchestrated attacks. The vulnerability can be exploited by a malicious actor querying Unbound for the specially crafted contents of a malicious zone with very large RRsets. Before Unbound replies to the query it will try to apply name compression which was an unbounded operation that could lock the CPU until the whole packet was complete. Unbound version 1.21.1 introduces a hard limit on the number of name compression calculations it is willing to do per packet. Packets that need more compression will result in semi-compressed packets or truncated packets, even on TCP for huge messages, to avoid locking the CPU for long. This change should not affect normal DNS traffic.","ecosystems":["AlmaLinux:10","AlmaLinux:9","Red Hat:enterprise_linux:10.0","Red Hat:enterprise_linux:9::appstream","Red
