description
dnspython releases before 2.9.0 can consume excessive CPU while decoding DNS names from wire-format messages. An attacker may degrade service or cause denial of service when an application passes untrusted DNS messages to the affected parser.
mitigation
Upgrade dnspython to version 2.9.0 or later. Prioritize systems that parse DNS wire-format data from untrusted sources.
fixed in 2.9.0
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
