CVE-2024-0760 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in BIND 9 affecting versions 9.18.1 through 9.18.27, 9.19.0 through 9.19.24, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.27-S1. A malicious client can send many DNS messages over TCP, causing the named server to become unstable while the attack is ongoing. The issue is triggered through network interaction with the server’s TCP-based DNS service and results in operational instability rather than a permanent failure condition. The server may recover once the attack stops.

This repository contains a single Python script (CVE-2024-0760.py) that serves as a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-0760, a vulnerability in ISC BIND. The script constructs and sends a large number (65536) of DNS queries for the domain 'example.com' over TCP to a user-specified DNS server (typically BIND) on port 53. The DNS queries are crafted to include EDNS0 support, and the script prints the raw DNS response if received. The main entry point is the script itself, which requires the target DNS server's IP address as a command-line argument. The exploit demonstrates the ability to flood a DNS server with crafted queries, potentially triggering the vulnerability. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present except for 'example.com', which is used as the query target. The script is a standalone proof-of-concept and does not include advanced payloads or post-exploitation features.
