Last Modified: Jun 28, 2024

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP DNS(all modules)

Opened: May 02, 2024

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Zonerunner GUI becomes unresponsive when attempting to view a large number of resource records.

Impact

- Zonerunner is a DNS client just like dig and nslookup. When it displays all the resource records in a zone, it makes an AXFR request to bind. - When it is asked to display a large number of records, the process can be CPU intensive and the GUI can become unresponsive.

Conditions

DNS zones with a large number of resource records (over 60k) or when the cumulative number of resource records of all the zones exceeds 1000k records.

Workaround

- Limit the number of records per zone to less than 60k. - Limit the cumulative number of records to less than 1000k

Fix Information

None
