gem: resolv

title: Possible Denial of Service in resolv gem
date: 2025-07-09
description: |
A denial of service vulnerability has been discovered in the
resolv gem bundled with Ruby.
This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier
CVE-2025-24294. We recommend upgrading the resolv gem.

## Details
The vulnerability is caused by an insufficient check on the
length of a decompressed domain name within a DNS packet.

An attacker can craft a malicious DNS packet containing a highly
compressed domain name. When the resolv library parses such a
packet, the name decompression process consumes a large amount
of CPU resources, as the library does not limit the resulting
length of the name.

This resource consumption can cause the application thread to
become unresponsive, resulting in a Denial of Service condition.

## Affected Version
The vulnerability affects the resolv gem bundled with the
following Ruby series:
* Ruby 3.2 series: resolv version 0.2.2 and earlier
* Ruby 3.3 series: resolv version 0.3.0
* Ruby 3.4 series: resolv version 0.6.1 and earlier

## Credits
Thanks to Manu for discovering this issue.
