Net/DNS/RR/A.pm in Net::DNS 0.60 build 654, as used in packages such as SpamAssassin and OTRS, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (program "croak") via a crafted DNS response.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
