A vulnerability has been identified in MyDNS, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code. This issue is caused by a buffer overflow error in the "update_gobble_rr()" [src/mydns/update.c] function when processing malformed requests, which could be exploited by attackers with "update" privileges to crash or compromise a server with the "allow-update" option enabled.
Note : An off-by-one overflow error has also been reported.
