    <title>GHSA-vvf4-9x63-8xvv — dnspython has excessive memory and CPU use</title>
    <updated>2026-11-15T04:44:02.414388+00:00</updated>
    <content type="xhtml">
      <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p><strong>Affected:</strong> PyPI: dnspython</p>
<p>### Summary</p>
<p>A maliciously crafted zone file could use a WKS record to consume excessive memory and CPU, possibly causing the process to exit due to memory exhaustion.</p>
<p>### Details</p>
<p>The `from_text()` parser does not check that a WKS record service number is between 0 and 65535 inclusive.  It then uses this number to resize the bitmap to accommodate a bit with that offset.  This can cause extremely large memory allocations, and also extends the array very inefficiently, wasting CPU.</p>
<p>### Proof of concept</p>
<p>This demonstrates the failure to limit the service number, though with a value that does not cause excessive memory or CPU consumption.</p>
<p>```
rd = dns.rdata.from_text("IN", "WKS", "10.0.0.1 udp 65536")
```</p>
<p>### Impact</p>
<p>If dnspython is used to read zonefile format where the attacker can control the type and rdata text, the program may consume excessive memory or CPU, denying service.</p></div>
