Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) 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.


2) 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. 


3) 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.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-59375)

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. A remote attacker can trigger large dynamic memory allocations via a small document and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-9230)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when trying to decrypt CMS messages encrypted using password based encryption. A remote attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that password based (PWRI) encryption support in CMS messages is enabled. 


6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-11234)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in websocket handshake code in /io/channel-websock.c. A remote attacker with network access to the VNC WebSocket port can perform a denial of service during the WebSocket handshake prior to the VNC client authentication.
