A use-after-free vulnerability in the DNS-over-HTTPS implementation could cause named to crash when a client sends a flood of HTTP/2 SETTINGS frames while a DoH response is being written. This affects servers with DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS) enabled.
ISC would like to thank Naresh Kandula Parmar (Nottiboy) for reporting this.
