Details
Summary
CVE-2025-0638 is a vulnerability affecting Routinator, an open-source DANE (DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities) validator. The issue arises from an oversight in the initial code, which fails to validate file names during parsing. Later stages of the code assume this validation has already occurred, leading to a panic when encountering illegal characters, ultimately causing a crash of Routinator. This vulnerability could potentially be exploited by an attacker to disrupt the DNS validation process, underscoring the importance of proper input validation in software development.
