Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in BIND, the worst of which |
19 |
may allow remote Denial of Service. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
BIND is the Berkeley Internet Name Domain Server. |
25 |
|
26 |
Affected packages |

Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in BIND: |
38 |
|
39 |
* Domain names are not properly revoked due to an error in the cache |
40 |
update policy (CVE-2012-1033). |
41 |
* BIND accepts records with zero-length RDATA fields (CVE-2012-1667). |
42 |
* An assertion failure from the failing-query cache could occur when |
43 |
DNSSEC validation is enabled (CVE-2012-3817). |
44 |
* A memory leak may occur under high TCP query loads (CVE-2012-3868). |
45 |
* An assertion error can occur when a query is performed for a record |
46 |
with RDATA greater than 65535 bytes (CVE-2012-4244). |

48 |
Impact |
49 |
====== |
50 |
|
51 |
A remote attacker may be able to cause a Denial of Service condition or |
52 |
keep domain names resolvable after it has been deleted from |
53 |
registration. |
54 |
|
55 |
Workaround |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
59 |
|
60 |
Resolution |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
All BIND users should upgrade to the latest version: |
64 |
|
65 |
# emerge --sync |
66 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dns/bind-9.9.1_p3" |
