Summary

perl-Net-DNS security update

Details

Net :: DNS is a collection of Perl's Domain Name System resolvers. It allows programmers to perform DNS queries for gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr functions.

Security Fix(es):

Net::DNS versions through 1.55 for Perl allow remote execution injection via EDNS EXTENDED ERROR.

Net::DNS::RR::OPT::EXTENDED_ERROR::_decompose parses the EXTRA-TEXT field of an EDNS EXTENDED-ERROR option (RFC 8914) by tokenising the raw bytes and passing the result to Perl's eval. There is some escaping done for $ and @, but not for backticks. This can be exploited for command execution if $pkt->edns->option('EXTENDED-ERROR') is called in array context, for example with a payload of {0:"<command>"} in EXTRA-TEXT.(CVE-2026-64193)

Severity

9.8 (Critical)
