What is CVE-2025-59088?

This vulnerability arises when Kdcproxy processes a request for a realm without defined server addresses, leading it to query SRV records in the DNS zone of the realm. A malicious actor can exploit this behavior by crafting specific requests that target a DNS zone where they control SRV records. This could direct queries to arbitrary ports and hostnames, including those that resolve to internal or loopback IP addresses. As a result, attackers can probe the internal network's topology, scan ports, and potentially exfiltrate sensitive data. Deployments where the 'use_dns' setting is disabled are immune to this vulnerability.
