CVE-2017-15094 is a memory leak vulnerability affecting PowerDNS Recursor versions 4.0.0 through 4.0.6. It occurs during DNSSEC parsing when specially crafted ECDSA keys are processed, but only if DNSSEC validation is enabled. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 5.9) has a high attack complexity and could lead to a denial of service (availability impact). There is no evidence of active exploitation, no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion, suggesting a low current threat.
