Description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass access controls.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-return error in the SIG(0) handling code in named when processing specially crafted DNS queries. A remote user can send a specially crafted DNS request to cause an ACL to improperly (mis)match an IP address, potentially leading to unauthorized access in default-allow ACL configurations.

Authoritative servers and resolvers are affected. In a default-allow ACL (which denies only specific IP addresses), this may lead to unauthorized access. Default-deny ACLs should fail securely.
