Repository contains a minimal proof-of-concept DoS exploit for CVE-2026-27831 affecting rldns 1.3. Structure: (1) README.md describing the vulnerability (remote heap-based out-of-bounds read in rldns 1.3; patched in 1.4) and attribution; (2) exploit.c, a standalone C program that takes a target IPv4 address and UDP port, creates a UDP socket, and sends a single hardcoded 16-byte malformed DNS-like packet via sendto(). No shellcode, command execution, or persistence is present—capability is limited to remotely triggering a crash/service disruption on a vulnerable rldns instance listening on the specified UDP port.
