MaraDNS before 1.3.07.12 and 1.4.x before 1.4.08 computes hash values for DNS data without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by sending many crafted queries with the Recursion Desired (RD) bit set.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-0024 is a remote denial-of-service issue in older MaraDNS versions. Attackers could send many specially crafted recursive DNS queries that force predictable hash collisions, driving CPU consumption and potentially degrading DNS availability. Exposure is most relevant for organizations still running legacy MaraDNS versions, especially recursive DNS services reachable by untrusted networks. The bundle does not identify affected downstream packages or appliances. Treat as a targeted availability risk for legacy DNS infrastructure. Prioritize remediation where MaraDNS supports critical name resolution or accepts recursive queries from broad networks. Mitigation focus: Upgrade MaraDNS to 1.3.07.12, 1.4.08, or later supported builds.; Confirm distribution packages include the MaraDNS hash-collision fix.; Restrict recursive DNS access to trusted clients where operationally feasible..
