A vulnerability was identified in the Domain Name System (DNS) protocol, which may be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service. This flaw resides in the recursion process used by some DNS implementations to decompress compressed DNS messages (RFC1035), which may be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a specially crafted DNS packet to a vulnerable server.
