CVE-2020-6079 is fixed in 21 products on 1 platform, first by libmicrodns0 0.0.8-1ubuntu0.1~esm1, released March 24, 2020. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
An exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the resource allocation handling of Videolabs libmicrodns 0.1.0. When encountering errors while parsing mDNS messages, some allocated data is not freed, possibly leading to a denial-of-service condition via resource exhaustion. An attacker can send one mDNS message repeatedly to trigger this vulnerability through decoding of the domain name performed by rr_decode.
