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.

CVE-2017-15908 [HIGH] systemd vulnerabilities
Title: systemd vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in systemd.
Karim Hossen & Thomas Imbert and Nelson William Gamazo Sanchez
independently discovered that systemd-resolved incorrectly handled certain
DNS responses. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
systemd to temporarily stop responding, resulting in a denial of service.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-15908)
It was discovered that systemd incorrectly handled automounted volumes. A
local attacker could possibly use this issue to cause applications to hang,
resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2018-1049)
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

CVE-2017-15908 [HIGH] CWE-835 systemd: Infinite loop in the dns_packet_read_type_window() function
systemd: Infinite loop in the dns_packet_read_type_window() function
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.
Statement: This issue did not affect the versions of systemd as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 as they did not include the vulnerable code.
