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.

NAME

Net::DNS::RR::TXT - DNS TXT resource record

SYNOPSIS

use Net::DNS::RR;

DESCRIPTION

Class for DNS Text (TXT) resource records.

METHODS

txtdata

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

Returns the descriptive text as a single string, regardless of actual number of <character-string> elements. Of questionable value. Should be deprecated.

Use $txt->rdatastr() or $txt->char_str_list() instead.

char_str_list

print "Individual <character-string> list: \n\t", 
      join("\n\t", $rr->char_str_list());

Returns a list of the individual <character-string> elements, as unquoted strings. Used by TXT->rdatastr and TXT->rr_rdata.
