CVE-2023-2828, named’s configured cache size limit would be a great deal exceeded.

An attacker can use this effort to trigger the amount of memory a named resolver utilizes to exceed the draw max-cache-size limit.

The attack’s success is decided by numerous parameters (e.g., request load, request patterns). Peaceable, for the reason that default imprint of the max-cache-size commentary is 90%, the attacker can utilize all accessible memory on the host running named, ensuing in a denial-of-service area.
