  • CVE-2025-30193: Denial of Service Vulnerability in DNSdist

    Overview

    This report provides a detailed analysis of a critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-30193, in DNSdist. DNSdist is a highly DNS, DoS and abuse aware load balancer. This vulnerability affects all systems running unpatched versions of DNSdist and has significant implications, including the potential for system compromise or data leakage. It is vital for all users to understand the risks associated with this vulnerability and apply the necessary mitigation strategies.

    Vulnerability Summary

    CVE ID: CVE-2025-30193
    Severity: High (CVSS: 7.5)
    Attack Vector: Network
    Privileges Required: None
    User Interaction: None
    Impact: System compromise or data leakage

    Affected Products

    Product | Affected Versions

    DNSdist | All versions before 1.9.10

    How the Exploit Works

    The vulnerability arises when DNSdist is configured to allow an unlimited number of queries on a single, incoming TCP connection from a client. In such scenarios, an attacker can craft a TCP exchange that triggers an exhaustion of the stack and a subsequent crash of DNSdist. This crash results in a denial of service, which can potentially lead to system compromise or data leakage.

    Conceptual Example Code

    A conceptual example of exploiting the vulnerability involves sending a large number of queries on a single TCP connection. This could hypothetically look like this:

    for i in {1..1000000}
    do
    echo "query $i" | nc target.example.com 53
    done

    This bash script sends a million queries to the DNSdist server, which, if configured to allow an unlimited number of queries, could lead to stack exhaustion and a crash.

    Remediation Steps

    Users are advised to upgrade to the patched 1.9.10 version of DNSdist. In the event where an upgrade is not immediately possible, a workaround is to restrict the maximum number of queries on incoming TCP connections to a safe value, like 50, via the setMaxTCPQueriesPerConnection setting.
    Additionally, deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as temporary mitigation.
    We would like to thank Renaud Allard for bringing this issue to our attention.

It affects versions 1.4.4-lts.1 and earlier, causing potential system compromise or data leakage. This vulnerability is significant due to its potential impact on system availability, should an attacker exploit it to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.

    Vulnerability Summary

    CVE ID: CVE-2025-47944
    Severity: High (7.5 CVSS Score)
    Attack Vector: Remote
    Privileges Required: None
    User Interaction: None
    Impact: Potential system compromise or data leakage

    Affected Products

    Product | Affected Versions

    Multer Middleware for Node.js | 1.4.4-lts.1 and prior

    How the Exploit Works

    The vulnerability exists due to the way Multer processes malformed multi-part upload requests. An attacker can send a specially crafted multi-part upload request that triggers an unhandled exception in Multer, leading to a crash of the process. This results in a DoS situation, disrupting the availability of the service.

    Conceptual Example Code

    An attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability by sending a malformed multi-part upload request as shown in the conceptual example below:

    POST /upload/endpoint HTTP/1.1
    Host: target.example.com
    Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=badboundary
    --badboundary
    Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="malicious_file"
    Content-Type: application/octet-stream
    { "malicious_payload": "..." }
    --badboundary--

    In this hypothetical example, the `boundary` parameter within the `Content-Type` header is malformed, which could cause Multer to throw an unhandled exception and crash the process.

  • CVE-2025-47935: Resource Exhaustion and Memory Leak Vulnerability in Multer Prior to 2.0.0

    Overview

    The vulnerability CVE-2025-47935 pertains to Multer, a node.js middleware for handling multipart/form-data. This vulnerability potentially affects all users of Multer that process file uploads.

    User Interaction: None
    Impact: Denial of Service, Potential System Compromise, Data Leakage

    Affected Products

    Product | Affected Versions

    Multer | Less than 2.0.0

    How the Exploit Works

    The exploit takes advantage of a flaw in Multer versions prior to 2.0.0. When the HTTP request stream emits an error, the internal ‘busboy’ stream is not properly closed. This violates Node.js’ stream safety guidance. Over time, the accumulation of these unclosed streams leads to memory and file descriptor consumption, causing a resource exhaustion and memory leak. Under sustained or repeated failure conditions, this can result in a denial of service attack.

    Conceptual Example Code

    This conceptual example demonstrates a simple request that could trigger the vulnerability:

    POST /upload HTTP/1.1
    Host: target.example.com
    Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
    ------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
    Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="malicious_file.txt"
    Content-Type: text/plain
    [Malicious content]
    ------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW--

    After this request, an error is emitted, leading to an unclosed stream, which if repeated could lead to a denial of service.
