Summary
The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named); a resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly.
Security Fix(es):
* bind: BIND 9 resolvers configured to answer from cache with zero stale-answer-timeout may terminate unexpectedly (CVE-2022-3080)
* bind: memory leak in ECDSA DNSSEC verification code (CVE-2022-38177)
* bind: memory leaks in EdDSA DNSSEC verification code (CVE-2022-38178)

Vulnerabilities 3
-
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.
