CVE-2024-1737
Resolver caches and authoritative zone databases that hold significant numbers of RRs for the same hostname (of any RTYPE) can suffer from degraded performance as content is being added or updated, and also when handling client queries for this name.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.11%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
