Description

Certain DNSSEC aspects of the DNS protocol (in RFC 4033, 4034, 4035, 6840, and related RFCs) allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via one or more DNSSEC responses, aka the "KeyTrap" issue. One of the concerns is that, when there is a zone with many DNSKEY and RRSIG records, the protocol specification implies that an algorithm must evaluate all combinations of DNSKEY and RRSIG records.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

9.0.0 ≤ v ≤ 9.16.469.18.0 ≤ v ≤ 9.18.229.19.0 ≤ v ≤ 9.19.20
v < 5.71
Affected range stops below 5.71, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
v < 1.19.1
Affected range stops below 1.19.1, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
