DNS: Multiple Vendors DNS DNSSEC Response Handling Denial Of Service

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against DNS DNSSEC. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.

Extended Description

Certain DNSSEC aspects of the DNS protocol (in RFC 4033, 4034, 4035, 6840, and related RFCs) allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via one or more DNSSEC responses, aka the "KeyTrap" issue. One of the concerns is that, when there is a zone with many DNSKEY and RRSIG records, the protocol specification implies that an algorithm must evaluate all combinations of DNSKEY and RRSIG records.
