Summary
It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled a flood of DNS messages
over TCP. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to
become unstable, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-0760)
Toshifumi Sakaguchi discovered that Bind incorrectly handled having a very
large number of RRs existing at the same time. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause Bind to consume resources, leading to a
denial of service. (CVE-2024-1737)
It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled a large number of SIG(0)
signed requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
Bind to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-1975)
Daniel Stränger discovered that Bind incorrectly handled serving both
stable cache data and authoritative zone content. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of
service. (CVE-2024-4076)
On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Bind has been updated from 9.16 to 9.18. In addition
to security fixes, the updated packages contain bug fixes, new features,
and possibly incompatible changes.

High 7.5CVE-2024-0760 Public exploit
A flood of DNS messages over TCP may make the server unstable
A malicious client can send many DNS messages over TCP, potentially causing the server to become unstable while the attack is in progress. The server may recover after the attack ceases. Use of ACLs will not mitigate the attack. This issue affects BIND 9 vers…

High 7.5
BIND's database will be slow if a very large number of RRs exist at the same name
Resolver caches and authoritative zone databases that hold significant numbers of RRs for the same hostname (of any RTYPE) can suffer from degraded performance as content is being added or updated, and also when handling client queries for this name. This iss…
-
High 7.5
SIG(0) can be used to exhaust CPU resources
If a server hosts a zone containing a "KEY" Resource Record, or a resolver DNSSEC-validates a "KEY" Resource Record from a DNSSEC-signed domain in cache, a client can exhaust resolver CPU resources by sending a stream of SIG(0) signed requests. This issue aff…

High 7.5
Assertion failure when serving both stale cache data and authoritative zone content
Client queries that trigger serving stale data and that also require lookups in local authoritative zone data may result in an assertion failure. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.16.13 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.27, 9.19.0 through 9.19.24, 9.11.…
