CVE-2026-42004

An attacker can send a crafted EDNS OPT record that will be ignored by DNSdist’s filtering rules, but will be rewritten as a valid OPT record when EDNS Client Subnet is inserted, causing the backend to see the EDNS option(s) that DNSdist did not filter.

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.16%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
