Key insight
The NVD alert only describes the vulnerability; details on active exploitation, affected versions, or a PoC are missing.
Description
CVE-2026-96064 describes a heap-based buffer overflow in DNS Server that is said to allow an authorized attacker to execute code over the network. The alert names neither specific product versions nor a CVSS score or technical details of exploitation. There is no indication of active attacks, a public proof of concept, or addition to CISA KEV. The flaw affects the DNS Server service; whether authentication is required before exploitation is only indirectly suggested by the phrase 'authorized attacker'.
