Synopsis
========

A hash collision vulnerability in MaraDNS allows remote attackers to
cause a Denial of Service condition.

Background
==========

MaraDNS is a proxy DNS server with permanent caching.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-dns/maradns < 1.4.09 >= 1.4.09

Description
===========

MaraDNS does not properly randomize hash functions to protect against
hash collision attacks.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could send many specially crafted DNS recursive
queries, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All MaraDNS users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dns/maradns-1.4.09"
