CVE-2012-1570
NVD-CWE-noinfoPublished: March 28, 2012· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
4.3
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The resolver in MaraDNS before 1.3.0.7.15 and 1.4.x before 1.4.12 overwrites cached server names and TTL values in NS records during the processing of a response to an A record query, which allows remote attackers to trigger continued resolvability of revoked domain names via a "ghost domain names" attack.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2012-1570 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
