Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-25215)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion when processing DNAME records. A remote attacker can force named to add the same RRset to the ANSWER section more than once, trigger an assertion failure and crash the service. Both authoritative and recursive servers are affected by this issue during zone transfers.
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) 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.
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.
