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.
-
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 code handling Diffie-Hellman key exchange via TKEY RRs (OpenSSL 3.0.0+ only)
An attacker can leverage this flaw to gradually erode available memory to the point where named crashes for lack of resources. Upon restart the attacker would have to begin again, but nevertheless there is the potential to deny service.
-
Medium 5.5
Buffer overread in statistics channel code
The underlying bug might cause read past end of the buffer and either read memory it should not read, or crash the process.
-
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.
-
High 7.5
Destroying a TLS session early causes assertion failure
On vulnerable configurations, the named daemon may, in some circumstances, terminate with an assertion failure. Vulnerable configurations are those that include a reference to http within the listen-on statements in their named.conf. TLS is used by both DNS o…

A broken inbound incremental zone update (IXFR) can cause named to terminate unexpectedly
In BIND 9.8.5 -> 9.8.8, 9.9.3 -> 9.11.29, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.13, and versions BIND 9.9.3-S1 -> 9.11.29-S1 and 9.16.8-S1 -> 9.16.13-S1 of BIND 9 Supported Preview Edition, as well as release versions 9.17.0 -> 9.17.11 of the BIND 9.17 development branch, when a vu…

High 8.1CVE-2020-8625 EPSS 64%
A vulnerability in BIND's GSSAPI security policy negotiation can be targeted by a buffer overflow attack
BIND servers are vulnerable if they are running an affected version and are configured to use GSS-TSIG features. In a configuration which uses BIND's default settings the vulnerable code path is not exposed, but a server can be rendered vulnerable by explicit…
-
Medium 4.3
update-policy rules of type "subdomain" are enforced incorrectly
In BIND 9.9.12 -> 9.9.13, 9.10.7 -> 9.10.8, 9.11.3 -> 9.11.21, 9.12.1 -> 9.16.5, 9.17.0 -> 9.17.3, also affects 9.9.12-S1 -> 9.9.13-S1, 9.11.3-S1 -> 9.11.21-S1 of the BIND 9 Supported Preview Edition, An attacker who has been granted privileges to change a sp…

A logic error in code which checks TSIG validity can be used to trigger an assertion failure in tsig.c
Using a specially-crafted message, an attacker may potentially cause a BIND server to reach an inconsistent state if the attacker knows (or successfully guesses) the name of a TSIG key used by the server. Since BIND, by default, configures a local session key…

TCP-pipelined queries can bypass tcp-clients limit
With pipelining enabled each incoming query on a TCP connection requires a similar resource allocation to a query received via UDP or via TCP without pipelining enabled. A client using a TCP-pipelined connection to a server could consume more resources than t…
