Hello!

Today we have released PowerDNS DNSdist 1.9.11 and 2.0.1. These releases fix PowerDNS Security Advisory 2025-05 for DNSdist, a denial of service via crafted DoH exchange. While working on adding mitigations against the MadeYouReset (CVE-2025-8671) attack, we noticed a potential denial of service in our DNS over HTTPS implementation when using the nghttp2 provider: an attacker might be able to cause a denial of service by crafting a DoH exchange that triggers an unbounded I/O read loop, causing an unexpected consumption of CPU resources. We assigned CVE-2025-30187 to this issue. The offending code was introduced in DNSdist 1.9.0-alpha1 so previous versions are not affected.

In addition to fixing this issue, the 1.9.11 and 2.0.1 releases add several mitigations against the MadeYouReset (CVE-2025-8671) attack. Our packages also fix several security issues that have been discovered in Cloudflare's Quiche implementation for DoQ and DoH3 (CVE-2025-4820, CVE-2025-4821, CVE-2025-7054).

The 2.0.1 release also contains several bug fixes and performance improvements.

Please see the DNSdist website [1] for the more complete changelogs [2][3] and the current documentation. The upgrade guide is also available there [4].

Please send us all feedback and issues you might have via the mailing list, or in case of a bug, via GitHub [5].

The release tarballs [6][8] and their signatures [7][9] are available on the downloads website, and packages for several distributions are available from our repository [10].
