The resolver in MaraDNS before 1.3.0.7.15 and 1.4.x before 1.4.12 overwrites cached server names and TTL values in NS records during the processing of a response to an A record query, which allows remote attackers to trigger continued resolvability of revoked domain names via a "ghost domain names" attack.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Old MaraDNS resolver versions can keep resolving domain names that should have stopped working. That can undermine DNS-based takedowns, domain revocation, or incident response relying on records expiring. The issue is limited to vulnerable MaraDNS resolver deployments and is not reported as actively exploited in the provided sources. Exposure is most likely where MaraDNS is used as a recursive or caching resolver on versions before 1.3.0.7.15 or 1.4.12. Systems using other DNS resolvers are not identified as affected in the source bundle. Treat as a targeted DNS infrastructure hygiene issue. It is not documented as actively exploited, but vulnerable resolvers can weaken domain revocation and takedown effectiveness, which matters during incident response or abuse handling. Mitigation focus: Upgrade MaraDNS to 1.3.0.7.15, 1.4.12, or a later vendor-supported release.; Check distribution vendor advisories for backported fixed packages.; Follow MaraDNS or vendor guidance for resolver cache handling after upgrade..
