Descriptions

A malformed DNS message in response to a query can cause the Lookup functions to get stuck in an infinite loop.

Un mensaje DNS con formato incorrecto en respuesta a una consulta puede hacer que las funciones de búsqueda se atasquen en un bucle infinito.

A flaw was found in the net package of the Go stdlib. When a malformed DNS message is received as a response to a query, the Lookup functions within the net package can get stuck in an infinite loop. This issue can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service (DoS) conditions.
