description

dnspython versions before 2.9.2 can consume excessive memory and CPU while parsing WKS records in zone-file text. An attacker may cause a denial of service if the application parses zone-file record types and RDATA that the attacker controls.

mitigation

Upgrade dnspython to version 2.9.2 or later. Until upgraded, do not parse attacker-controlled zone-file text or restrict untrusted WKS records.

fixed in 2.9.2
