  • 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.

  • 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 too-strict assertion check could be triggered when responses in BIND 9.16.19 and 9.17.16 require UDP fragmentation if RRL is in use

    In BIND 9.16.19, 9.17.16. Also, version 9.16.19-S1 of BIND Supported Preview Edition When a vulnerable version of named receives a query under the circumstances described above, the named process will terminate due to a failed assertion check. The vulnerabili…

  • High 8.1
    CVE-2021-25216 EPSS 83%

    A second vulnerability in BIND's GSSAPI security policy negotiation can be targeted by a buffer overflow attack

    In BIND 9.5.0 -> 9.11.29, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.13, and versions BIND 9.11.3-S1 -> 9.11.29-S1 and 9.16.8-S1 -> 9.16.13-S1 of BIND Supported Preview Edition, as well as release versions 9.17.0 -> 9.17.1 of the BIND 9.17 development branch, BIND servers are vulnerable…

  • High 7.5
    CVE-2021-25215 EPSS 12%

    An assertion check can fail while answering queries for DNAME records that require the DNAME to be processed to resolve itself

    In BIND 9.0.0 -> 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 Supported Preview Edition, as well as release versions 9.17.0 -> 9.17.11 of the BIND 9.17 development branch, when a vulnerable version o…

  • High 8.1
    CVE-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…

  • High 7.5

    A flaw in native PKCS#11 code can lead to a remotely triggerable assertion failure in pk11.c

    In BIND 9.10.0 -> 9.11.21, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.5, 9.17.0 -> 9.17.3, also affects 9.10.5-S1 -> 9.11.21-S1 of the BIND 9 Supported Preview Edition, An attacker that can reach a vulnerable system with a specially crafted query packet can trigger a crash. To be vulner…

  • High 7.5

    In BIND 9.15.6 -> 9.16.5, 9.17.0 -> 9.17.3, An attacker who can establish a TCP connection with the server and send dat…

  • High 7.5

    Attempting QNAME minimization after forwarding can lead to an assertion failure in resolver.c

    In BIND 9.14.0 -> 9.16.5, 9.17.0 -> 9.17.3, If a server is configured with both QNAME minimization and 'forward first' then an attacker who can send queries to it may be able to trigger the condition that will cause the server to crash. Servers that 'forward …

  • High 7.5
    CVE-2020-8617 Public exploit EPSS 93%

    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…

  • High 8.6
    CVE-2020-8616 EPSS 11%

    BIND does not sufficiently limit the number of fetches performed when processing referrals

    A malicious actor who intentionally exploits this lack of effective limitation on the number of fetches performed when processing referrals can, through the use of specially crafted referrals, cause a recursing server to issue a very large number of fetches i…

  • High 7.5

    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…
