Vulnerabilities 4

  • High 7.5

    BIND 9 resolvers configured to answer from stale cache with zero stale-answer-client-timeout may terminate unexpectedly

    By sending specific queries to the resolver, an attacker can cause named to crash.

  • High 7.5

    Memory leak in ECDSA DNSSEC verification code

    By spoofing the target resolver with responses that have a malformed ECDSA signature, an attacker can trigger a small memory leak. It is possible to gradually erode available memory to the point where named crashes for lack of resources.

  • High 7.5

    Memory leaks in EdDSA DNSSEC verification code

    By spoofing the target resolver with responses that have a malformed EdDSA signature, an attacker can trigger a small memory leak. It is possible to gradually erode available memory to the point where named crashes for lack of resources.

  • Medium 5.3

    Processing large delegations may severely degrade resolver performance

    By flooding the target resolver with queries exploiting this flaw an attacker can significantly impair the resolver's performance, effectively denying legitimate clients access to the DNS resolution service.
