Deadwood before 2.3.09, 3.x before 3.2.05, and as used in MaraDNS before 1.4.14 and 2.x before 2.0.09, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) by leveraging permission to perform recursive queries against Deadwood, related to a logic error.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-2031 can let a remote party crash vulnerable Deadwood DNS resolver deployments, including affected MaraDNS builds, if they are allowed to make recursive DNS queries. The business impact is service disruption, not confirmed data theft or code execution in the provided sources. Exposure is most likely where Deadwood or MaraDNS recursive DNS service is deployed and reachable by untrusted or broad client populations. Authoritative-only or tightly restricted recursive deployments are less exposed based on the provided description. Treat this as a targeted availability risk for DNS infrastructure. Prioritize internet-facing or broadly accessible recursive resolvers first, because resolver crashes can disrupt dependent applications and users. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Deadwood to 2.3.09, 3.2.05, or later as applicable.; Upgrade MaraDNS to 1.4.14, 2.0.09, or later as applicable.; Restrict recursive query access to trusted networks and clients..
