ETK-2026-3480Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
gopacket versions before 1.7.5 can consume excessive resources when their DNS decoder processes attacker-controlled compressed DNS names. An unauthenticated remote sender able to reach DNS traffic handled by a gopacket-based decoder can cause denial of service through CPU and, in environments accepting larger messages, memory exhaustion.
mitigation
Update github.com/gopacket/gopacket to version 1.7.5 or later. Until upgraded, restrict untrusted DNS traffic from reaching processes that decode it with gopacket.
fixed in 1.7.5
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
