Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Dynamic Update packets can cause a Denial of Service in the BIND |
19 |
daemon. |
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 |
================= |

31 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |

1 net-dns/bind < 9.4.3_p3 >= 9.4.3_p3 |

Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
Matthias Urlichs reported that the dns_db_findrdataset() function fails |
39 |
when the prerequisite section of the dynamic update message contains a |
40 |
record of type "ANY" and where at least one RRset for this FQDN exists |
41 |
on the server. |
42 |
|
43 |
Impact |
44 |
====== |
45 |
|
46 |
A remote unauthenticated attacker could send a specially crafted |
47 |
dynamic update message to the BIND daemon (named), leading to a Denial |
48 |
of Service (daemon crash). This vulnerability affects all primary |
49 |
(master) servers -- it is not limited to those that are configured to |
50 |
allow dynamic updates. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
Configure a firewall that performs Deep Packet Inspection to prevent |
56 |
nsupdate messages from reaching named. Alternatively, expose only |
57 |
secondary (slave) servers to untrusted networks. |
58 |
|
59 |
Resolution |
60 |
========== |
61 |
|
62 |
All BIND users should upgrade to the latest version: |
63 |
|
64 |
# emerge --sync |
65 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dns/bind-9.4.3_p3" |
66 |
