Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Dynamic Update packets can cause a Denial of Service in the BIND
daemon.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
ISC BIND is the Internet Systems Consortium implementation of the
Domain Name System (DNS) protocol.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-dns/bind < 9.4.3_p3 >=3D 9.4.3_p3
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Matthias Urlichs reported that the dns_db_findrdataset() function fails
when the prerequisite section of the dynamic update message contains a
record of type "ANY" and where at least one RRset for this FQDN exists
on the server.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote unauthenticated attacker could send a specially crafted
dynamic update message to the BIND daemon (named), leading to a Denial
of Service (daemon crash). This vulnerability affects all primary
(master) servers -- it is not limited to those that are configured to
allow dynamic updates.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Configure a firewall that performs Deep Packet Inspection to prevent
nsupdate messages from reaching named. Alternatively, expose only
secondary (slave) servers to untrusted networks.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All BIND users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dnet-dns/bind-9.4.3_p3"
