A flaw was found in CoreDNS, a DNS server that chains plugins. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by repeatedly sending oversized DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) GET requests. The GET path, unlike the POST path, lacks size validation before processing large `dns=` query parameter values. This can lead to high CPU usage, significant memory allocations, and increased garbage collection, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). github.com/coredns/coredns: CoreDNS: Denial of Service via oversized DNS-over-HTTPS GET requests The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.
