Mitigation checklist

Recommended fix / mitigation
  • To mitigate, do not pass untrusted strings into dns.resolve; reject hostnames that contain embedded NUL bytes before DNS resolution. Limit which components may perform DNS lookups on attacker-influenced names, and restrict network reachability of those services.
