This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Systemd . A successful exploit can lead to Denial Of Services.
In systemd 223 through 235, a remote DNS server can respond with a custom crafted DNS NSEC resource record to trigger an infinite loop in the dns_packet_read_type_window() function of the 'systemd-resolved' service and cause a DoS of the affected service.
