CVE-2026-48497

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy designed for cloud-native applications. Prior to 1.35.11, 1.36.7, 1.37.3, and 1.38.1, in cases where UDP DNS filter is configured with local resolution containing a name with the length of 255 octets or remote resolution for a name of 255 octets long can complete successfully, a query with such name will result in abnormal process termination. The abnormal process termination is triggered by an invalid runtime precondition that the query name is strictly less than 255 octets, contradicting DNS specification rfc1035#section-2.3.4 that the name can be 255 or less octets. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.35.11, 1.36.7, 1.37.3, and 1.38.1.

Antes de 1.35.11, 1.36.7, 1.37.3 y 1.38.1, en casos donde el filtro DNS UDP está configurado con resolución local que contiene un nombre con una longitud de 255 octetos o resolución remota para un nombre de 255 octetos de longitud puede completarse con éxito, una consulta con dicho nombre resultará en una terminación anormal del proceso. La terminación anormal del proceso es desencadenada por una precondición de tiempo de ejecución inválida de que el nombre de la consulta es estrictamente menor a 255 octetos, contradiciendo la especificación DNS rfc1035#section-2.3.4 de que el nombre puede ser de 255 octetos o menos. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en 1.35.11, 1.36.7, 1.37.3 y 1.38.1."
