Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25829)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cache poisoning attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can cause the cached records for a given name to be updated to the ‘Bogus’ DNSSEC validation state, instead of their actual DNSSEC ‘Secure’ state, via a DNS ANY query. This results in a denial of service for installations that always validate (dnssec=validate) and for clients requesting validation when on-demand validation is enabled (dnssec=process).


Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
