{"cve":"CVE-2026-32934","nvd":{"published":"2026-05-05T20:16:35.853","modified":"2026-07-25T11:10:00.100","status":"Analyzed","description":"CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins. In versions prior to 1.14.3, the DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ) server can be driven into unbounded goroutine and memory growth by a remote client that opens many QUIC streams and sends only 1 byte per stream. When the worker pool is full, CoreDNS still spawns a goroutine per accepted stream to wait for a worker token. Additionally, active workers block indefinitely in io.ReadFull() with no per-stream read deadline, allowing an attacker to pin all workers by sending a single byte so the read blocks waiting for the second byte of the DoQ length prefix. This enables an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause memory exhaustion and OOM-kill. This issue has been fixed in version 1.14.3. No known workarounds exist.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":8.7},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-770"],"references":["https://github.com/coredns/coredns/releases/tag/v1.14.3","https://github.com/coredns/coredns/security/advisories/GHSA-2wpx-qpw2-g5h5","https://github.com/coredns/coredns/security/advisories/GHSA-2wpx-qpw2-g5h5"],"products":["coredns.io:coredns"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:33:55.586217763+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-32934","score":0.00469,"percentile":0.40576,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-2wpx-qpw2-g5h5","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-2wpx-qpw2-g5h5","summary":"CoreDNS' DoQ worker pool does not bound stream backlog","modified":"2026-09-10T03:51:00.935219451Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/coredns/coredns","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/coredns/coredns","ranges":["<1.14.3"],"fixed":["1.14.3"]}]},{"id":"GO-2026-4969","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2026-4969","summary":"CoreDNS' DoQ worker pool does not bound stream backlog in github.com/coredns/coredns","modified":"2026-06-11T18:29:25.876892350Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/coredns/coredns","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/coredns/coredns","ranges":["<1.14.3"],"fixed":["1.14.3"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
