Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-40778)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to poison DNS cache.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient verification of data authenticity when accepting records from answers. A remote attacker can inject forged data into the cache leading to DNS cache poisoning.
2) Predictable Seed in Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-40780)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to poison DNS cache.
The vulnerability exists due to weakness in the Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG). A remote attacker can predict the source port and query ID that BIND will use and perform DNS cache poisoning attacks.
3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12705)
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 within the DNS-over-HTTPS feature. A remote attacker can send multiple HTTP/2 requests to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack. The vulnerability affects both authoritative servers and resolvers.
4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11187)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling DNS zones with numerous records in the Additional section. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion by sending multiple queries to he affected server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-8677)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when querying for data within a specially crafted zone containing certain malformed DNSKEY records. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
