BUG FIXES:

  • Fix for CVE-2026-12244: A specially crafted SVCB RR can cause a heap
    overflow of up to 65509 attacker controlled bytes.
    Thanks to Qifan Zhang, Palo Alto Networks for the report
    https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/downloads/nsd/CVE-2026-12244.txt
  • Fix for CVE-2026-12245: If NSD is configured with DNS over TLS, a
    client that performs a TLS action, closing the connection early,
    causes a crash and restart of the server process. An attacker can
    keep all children in a crash-restart loop denying DoT service.
    Thanks to Qifan Zhang, Palo Alto Networks for the report.

    causes out of bounds write on the stack, when the zonefile is written
    out. Thanks to Qifan Zhang from Palo Alto Networks, Haruki Oyama from
    Waseda University and zhangph for the report.
