CVSS v3.1
7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
BIND versions 9.9.9-P6 through 9.9.10rc1
BIND versions 9.10.4-P6 through 9.10.5rc1
BIND versions 9.11.0-P3 through 9.11.1rc1
BIND version 9.9.9-S8
Description
The issue arises from mistaken assumptions about the ordering of records in the answer section of a response containing CNAME or DNAME resource records. This could lead to a situation in which named exits with an assertion failure when processing a response in which records occurred in an unusual order. Attackers can cause a denial of service by sending a response containing CNAME or DNAME resource records with a specially crafted order.
Recommendations
For BIND versions 9.9.9-P6 through 9.9.10rc1, update to a version that fixes the issue.
For BIND versions 9.10.4-P6 through 9.10.5rc1, update to a version that fixes the issue.
For BIND versions 9.11.0-P3 through 9.11.1rc1, update to a version that fixes the issue.
For BIND version 9.9.9-S8, update to a version that fixes the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the processing of responses with unusual record orders to minimize the risk of exploitation.
