Echo: github.com/coredns/coredns: security update to 1.14.0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 463568

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins. Prior to version 1.14.0, multiple CoreDNS server
 implementations (gRPC, HTTPS, and HTTP/3) lack critical resource-limiting controls. An unauthenticated
 remote attacker can exhaust memory and degrade or crash the server by opening many concurrent connections,
 streams, or sending oversized request bodies. The issue is similar in nature to CVE-2025-47950 (QUIC DoS)
 but affects additional server types that do not enforce connection limits, stream limits, or message size
 constraints. Version 1.14.0 contains a patch. (CVE-2025-68151)

Solution

Update the github.com/coredns/coredns library and its related packages to version 1.14.0 or later.
