CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins. In versions prior to 1.14.3, the DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ) server can be driven into unbounded goroutine and memory growth by a remote client that opens many QUIC streams and sends only 1 byte per stream. When the worker pool is full, CoreDNS still spawns a goroutine per accepted stream to wait for a worker token. Additionally, active workers block indefinitely in io.ReadFull() with no per-stream read deadline, allowing an attacker to pin all workers by sending a single byte so the read blocks waiting for the second byte of the DoQ length prefix. This enables an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause memory exhaustion and OOM-kill. This issue has been fixed in version 1.14.3. No known workarounds exist.

Title: CoreDNS, Description: CoreDNS es un servidor DNS que encadena plugins. En versiones anteriores a la 1.14.3, el servidor DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ) puede ser llevado a un crecimiento ilimitado de goroutines y memoria por un cliente remoto que abre muchas transmisiones QUIC y envía solo 1 byte por transmisión. Cuando el pool de trabajadores está lleno, CoreDNS aún genera una goroutine por transmisión aceptada para esperar un token de trabajador. Además, los trabajadores activos se bloquean indefinidamente en io.ReadFull() sin un plazo de lectura por transmisión, lo que permite a un atacante inmovilizar a todos los trabajadores enviando un solo byte para que la lectura se bloquee esperando el segundo byte del prefijo de longitud DoQ. Esto permite a un atacante remoto no autenticado causar agotamiento de memoria y OOM-kill. Este problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 1.14.3. No existen soluciones alternativas conocidas.
