Stack-based buffer overflow in the dns_decode_reverse_name function in dns_decode.c in dproxy-nexgen allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted packet to port 53/udp, a different issue than CVE-2007-1465.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-1866 is a reported remote code execution flaw in dproxy-nexgen, a DNS proxy. A specially crafted UDP packet to DNS service port 53 could overflow stack memory. The bundle does not identify affected versions, a patch, or current exploitation. Exposure is limited to environments running dproxy-nexgen with UDP port 53 reachable by untrusted networks. The source bundle lists vendor, product, and versions as n/a, so teams must confirm by asset inventory and service inspection. Treat internet-facing deployments as urgent because the described impact is arbitrary code execution over DNS. If dproxy-nexgen is not present, business risk is low. The first priority is confirming whether this legacy component exists anywhere. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for dproxy-nexgen DNS proxy usage.; Restrict UDP/53 access to trusted networks only.; Check project or vendor guidance for fixed versions..
