Summary
Shoham Danino, Anat Bremler-Barr, Yehuda Afek, and Yuval Shavitt discovered
that Bind incorrectly handled parsing large DNS messages. A remote attacker
could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to consume resources, leading
to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-4408)
Elias Heftrig, Haya Schulmann, Niklas Vogel, and Michael Waidner discovered
that Bind icorrectly handled validating DNSSEC messages. A remote attacker
could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to consume resources, leading
to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-50387)
It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled preparing an NSEC3 closest
encloser proof. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
Bind to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-50868)
It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled reverse zone queries when
nxdomain-redirect is enabled. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause Bind to crash, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2023-5517)
It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled recursive resolution when
both DNS64 and serve-stable were enabled. A remote attacker could possibly
use this issue to cause Bind to crash, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2023-5679)

Vulnerabilities 5
-
High 7.5
Parsing large DNS messages may cause excessive CPU load
The DNS message parsing code in `named` includes a section whose computational complexity is overly high. It does not cause problems for typical DNS traffic, but crafted queries and responses may cause excessive CPU load on the affected `named` instance by ex…

High 7.5
Certain DNSSEC aspects of the DNS protocol (in RFC 4033, 4034, 4035, 6840, and related RFCs) allow remote attackers to …

High 7.5
The Closest Encloser Proof aspect of the DNS protocol (in RFC 5155 when RFC 9276 guidance is skipped) allows remote att…

Querying RFC 1918 reverse zones may cause an assertion failure when "nxdomain-redirect" is enabled
A flaw in query-handling code can cause `named` to exit prematurely with an assertion failure when: - `nxdomain-redirect <domain>;` is configured, and - the resolver receives a PTR query for an RFC 1918 address that would normally result in an authoritative N…

High 7.5
Enabling both DNS64 and serve-stale may cause an assertion failure during recursive resolution
A bad interaction between DNS64 and serve-stale may cause `named` to crash with an assertion failure during recursive resolution, when both of these features are enabled. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.16.12 through 9.16.45, 9.18.0 through 9.18.21, 9.19…
