15 Synopsis
16 ========
17
18 Incomplete verification of RSA and DSA certificates might lead to
19 spoofed records authenticated using DNSSEC.
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 < 9.4.3_p1 >= 9.4.3_p1
34
35 Description
36 ===========
37
38 BIND does not properly check the return value from the OpenSSL
39 functions to verify DSA (CVE-2009-0025) and RSA (CVE-2009-0265)
40 certificates.
41
42 Impact
43 ======
44
45 A remote attacker could bypass validation of the certificate chain to
46 spoof DNSSEC-authenticated records.
47
48 Workaround
49 ==========
50
51 There is no known workaround at this time.
52
53 Resolution
54 ==========
55
56 All BIND users should upgrade to the latest version:
57
58 # emerge --sync
59 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dns/bind-9.4.3_p1"
