CVE-2007-6341 (2008-02-08)

Allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (program "croak") via a crafted DNS response.

CVE-2007-3409 (2007-06-26)

Net::DNS before 0.60, a Perl module, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption) via a malformed compressed DNS packet with self-referencing pointers, which triggers an infinite loop.

CVE-2007-3377 (2007-06-25)

Header.pm in Net::DNS before 0.60, a Perl module, (1) generates predictable sequence IDs with a fixed increment and (2) can use the same starting ID for all child processes of a forking server, which allows remote attackers to spoof DNS responses, as originally reported for qpsmtp and spamassassin.

DESCRIPTION

Class for DNS TKEY resource records.

METHODS

algorithm

$rr->algorithm($algorithm_name);
print "algorithm = ", $rr->algorithm, "\n";

Gets or sets the domain name that specifies the name of the algorithm. The default algorithm is gss.microsoft.com

inception

$rr->inception(time);
print "inception = ", $rr->inception, "\n";

Gets or sets the inception time as the number of seconds since 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00 UTC.

The default inception time is the current time.

expiration

error

print "error = ", $rr->error, "\n";

Returns the RCODE covering TKEY processing. See RFC 2930 for details.

other_len

print "other len = ", $rr->other_len, "\n";

Returns the length of the Other Data. Should be zero.

other_data

print "other data = ", $rr->other_data, "\n";

Returns the Other Data. This field should be empty.
