libnet-dns-perl: Net::DNS versions through 1.55 for Perl allow remote execution injection via EDNS EXTENDED ERROR
CVE-2026-64193 is fixed in 4 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-64193, released July 24, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Urgent.
Net::DNS versions through 1.55 for Perl allow remote execution injection via EDNS EXTENDED ERROR. Net::DNS::RR::OPT::EXTENDED_ERROR::_decompose parses the EXTRA-TEXT field of an EDNS EXTENDED-ERROR option (RFC 8914) by tokenising the raw bytes and passing the result to Perl's eval. There is some escaping done for $ and @, but not for backticks. This can be exploited for command execution if $pkt->edns->option('EXTENDED-ERROR') is called in array context, for example with a payload of {0:`"<command>"`} in EXTRA-TEXT.
