Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
ISC BIND contains two vulnerabilities allowing a Denial of Service |
19 |
under certain conditions. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
ISC BIND is the Internet Systems Consortium implementation of the |
25 |
Domain Name System (DNS) protocol. |
26 |
|
27 |
Affected packages |
28 |
================= |
29 |
|
30 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
31 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
32 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
33 |
1 net-dns/bind < 9.3.2-r4 >= 9.3.2-r4 |
34 |
*>= 9.2.6-r4 |
35 |
|
36 |
Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|
39 |
Queries for SIG records will cause an assertion error if more than one |
40 |
SIG RRset is returned. Additionally, an INSIST failure can be triggered |
41 |
by sending multiple recursive queries if the response to the query |
42 |
arrives after all the clients looking for the response have left the |
43 |
recursion queue. |
44 |
|
45 |
Impact |
46 |
====== |
47 |
|
48 |
An attacker having access to a recursive server can crash the server by |
49 |
querying the SIG records where there are multiple SIG RRsets, or by |
50 |
sending many recursive queries in a short time. The exposure can be |
51 |
lowered by restricting the clients that can ask for recursion. An |
52 |
attacker can also crash an authoritative server serving a DNSSEC zone |
53 |
in which there are multiple SIG RRsets. |
54 |
|
55 |
Workaround |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
There are no known workarounds at this time. |
59 |
|
60 |
Resolution |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
All BIND 9.3 users should update to the latest version: |
64 |
|
65 |
# emerge --sync |
66 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dns/bind-9.3.2-r4" |
67 |
|
68 |
All BIND 9.2 users should update to the latest version: |
69 |
|
70 |
# emerge --sync |
71 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dns/bind-9.2.6-r4" |
72 |
