Description:
Beyond Security has reported a vulnerability in the Net::DNS Perl module, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing certain malformed DNS responses. This can be exploited to e.g. crash applications relying on Net::DNS by replying to DNS queries with a specially crafted DNS response.
The vulnerability is reported in version 0.60 build 654. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 0.63.
