Technitium 11.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (bandwidth amplification) because the DNSBomb manipulation causes accumulation of low-rate DNS queries such that there is a large-sized response in a burst of traffic.

GHSA-R3J6-H9RM-9Q33

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-08-11 00:00 – Updated: 2025-10-22 00:32
VLAI
Details

A PAN-OS URL filtering policy misconfiguration could allow a network-based attacker to conduct reflected and amplified TCP denial-of-service (RDoS) attacks. The DoS attack would appear to originate from a Palo Alto Networks PA-Series (hardware), VM-Series (virtual) and CN-Series (container) firewall against an attacker-specified target. To be misused by an external attacker, the firewall configuration must have a URL filtering profile with one or more blocked categories assigned to a source zone that has an external facing interface. This configuration is not typical for URL filtering and, if set, is likely unintended by the administrator. If exploited, this issue would not impact the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our products. However, the resulting denial-of-service (DoS) attack may help obfuscate the identity of the attacker and implicate the firewall as the source of the attack. We have taken prompt action to address this issue in our PAN-OS software. All software updates for this issue are expected to be released no later than the week of August 15, 2022. This issue does not impact Panorama M-Series or Panorama virtual appliances. This issue has been resolved for all Cloud NGFW and Prisma Access customers and no additional action is required from them.

Details

RTI Connext DDS Professional, Connext DDS Secure versions 4.2x to 6.1.0, and Connext DDS Micro versions 2.4 and later are vulnerable when an attacker sends a specially crafted packet to flood target devices with unwanted traffic. This may result in a denial-of-service condition and information exposure.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

An application must make network resources available to a client commensurate with the client's access level.

Mitigation
Policy

Define a clear policy for network resource allocation and consumption.

Mitigation
Implementation

An application must, at all times, keep track of network resources and meter their usage appropriately.
