How to Fix CVE-2022-3346

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Github.com/peterzen/goresolver dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

github.com/peterzen/goresolver fixed: Latest secure release
Upgrade github.com/peterzen/goresolver to Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for github.com/peterzen/goresolver

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2022-3346, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/peterzen/goresolver:

inspect dependencies for github.com/peterzen/goresolver

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/peterzen/goresolver in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-345: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity, where the product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data. In Github.com/peterzen/goresolver, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

go-resolver's DNSSEC validation is not performed correctly. An attacker can cause this package to report successful validation for invalid, attacker-controlled records. The owner name of RRSIG RRs is not validated, permitting an attacker to present the RRSIG for an attacker-controlled domain in a response for any other domain.
