CVE-2026-58160Network attack vector

Memory disclosure or interruption via DNS parsing

Published Jul 29, 2026 · Updated Jul 29, 2026

Out-of-bounds reads in affected Apache Traffic Server releases allow remote attackers to expose memory or interrupt service via DNS answers. The DNS answer parser reads beyond a received message buffer, but Apache has not disclosed the specific function, field, or missing bounds check. Reachability requires a crafted DNS answer to enter the resolver path; published material does not identify the triggering record type or parser branch.
