+# Various panics, soundness and resource exhaustion issues
+
+Version 0.12.3 fixes a large number of panics, soundness issues, and
+CPU and memory exhaustion issues in all parts of the crate.
+
+The following is a summary of the issues per affected components.
+For details, please see the [release
+notes](https://github.com/NLnetLabs/domain/releases/tag/v0.12.3).
+
+## Base
+
+* Limited the number of compression pointers that are followed when parsing
+  a compressed name to 255 to avoid following really long chains.
+* Limited the length of CNAME chains followed by `Message::canonical_name`
+  to 20. This also fixed an integer overflow in this method when ANCOUNT
+  was`u16::MAX`.
+* Changed `QuestionSection::answer` to skip over all remaining questions
+  without parsing the QNAMEs to avoid being slowed down by malicious
+  names.
+* Added length checks when scanning and parsing variable length record
+  data types. This fixes issues with the message builder, which assumes that
+  record data is never too large for placing in a message.
+
+## Stub Resolver
+
+* Fixed possible panics in the resolver’s `FoundHosts::qname` and
+  `FoundHosts::canonical_name`.
+* Fixed various issues in SRV processing.
+
+## Zonefile parsing
+
+* Fixed soundness issues when reading UTF-8 and an integer overflow when
+  reading unsigned integers.
+* Fixed a panic when reading empty TXT records.
+
+## Client and server transports, DNSSEC signer and validator
+
+Fixed various panics that could be triggered by malicious incoming DNS
+messages.
+
+## Zonetree
+
+Fixed various panics and a memory exhaustion issue when updating the zone.
