Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-25219)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to BIND does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing lame cache. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-25220)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to poison DNS cache.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in DNS forwarder implementation. When using forwarders, bogus NS records supplied by, or via, those forwarders may be cached and used by named if it needs to recurse for any reason, causing it to obtain and pass on potentially incorrect answers. The cache could become poisoned with incorrect records leading to
queries being made to the wrong servers, which might also result in
false information being returned to clients.
3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0396)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application that allows TCP connection slots to be consumed for an indefinite time
frame via a specifically crafted TCP stream sent from a client. A remote attacker can initiate a specially crafted TCP stream that can cause connections to BIND to remain in CLOSE_WAIT status for an indefinite period of time, even after the client has terminated the connection.
This issue can only be triggered on BIND servers which have keep-response-order enabled, which is not the default configuration. The keep-response-order option is an ACL block; any hosts which are specified within it will be able to trigger this issue on affected versions.
4) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2795)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when processing large delegations. A remote attacker can flood the target resolver with queries and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2881)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when reusing HTTP connection while requesting statistics from the stats channel. A remote DNS server under attacker's control trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or perform a denial of service attack.
6) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2906)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak in key processing when using TKEY records in Diffie-Hellman mode with OpenSSL 3.0.0 and later versions. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.
7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3080)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when resolvers are configured to answer from stale cache with zero stale-answer-client-timeout and there is a stale CNAME in the cache for an incoming query. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the DNS resolver and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38177)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the DNSSEC verification code for the ECDSA algorithm. A remote attacker can spoof the target resolver with responses that have a malformed ECDSA signature and perform denial of service attack.
9) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38178)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the DNSSEC verification code for the EdDSA algorithm. A remote attacker can spoof the target resolver with responses that have a malformed EdDSA signature and perform denial of service attack.
