Multiple implementations of the DNS protocol, including (1) Poslib 1.0.2-1 and earlier as used by Posadis, (2) Axis Network products before firmware 3.13, and (3) Men & Mice Suite 2.2x before 2.2.3 and 3.5.x before 3.5.2, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and network bandwidth consumption) by triggering a communications loop via (a) DNS query packets with localhost as a spoofed source address, or (b) a response packet that triggers a response packet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old DNS denial-of-service issue. Certain DNS implementations can be tricked into repeatedly answering each other, consuming CPU and network bandwidth. The main business risk is service disruption in legacy DNS software, embedded devices, or management suites still running affected versions. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments running the named DNS libraries, Axis network devices, or Men & Mice Suite versions from the affected ranges. Modern exposure cannot be inferred from the bundle without asset inventory confirmation. Prioritize validation in legacy DNS and network-device estates. This is not presented as actively exploited, but DNS availability is operationally important and affected unsupported products may remain hidden. Mitigation focus: Inventory for affected Poslib, Axis firmware, and Men & Mice Suite versions.; Upgrade Axis Network products to firmware 3.13 or later where applicable.; Upgrade Men & Mice Suite to 2.2.3, 3.5.2, or later where applicable..
