==================================================================== CERT-Renater Note d'Information No. 2015/VULN128 _____________________________________________________________________ DATE : 08/07/2015 HARDWARE PLATFORM(S): / OPERATING SYSTEM(S): Systems running BIND versions prior to 9.10.2-P1, 9.9.7, 9.8.8, 9.7.7. ====================================================================== https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01267/0 ______________________________________________________________________ CVE-2015-4620: Specially Constructed Zone Data Can Cause a Resolver to Crash when Validating An attacker who can cause a validating resolver to query a zone containing specifically constructed contents can cause that resolver to fail an assertion and terminate due to a defect in validation code. CVE: CVE-2015-4620 Document Version: 2.0 Posting date: 7 July 2015 Program Impacted: BIND Versions affected: BIND 9.7.1 -> 9.7.7, 9.8.0 -> 9.8.8, 9.9.0 -> 9.9.7, 9.10.0 -> 9.10.2-P1. Severity: Critical Exploitable: Remotely Description: A very uncommon combination of zone data has been found that triggers a bug in BIND, with the result that named will exit with a "REQUIRE" failure in name.c when validating the data returned in answer to a recursive query. This means that a recursive resolver that is performing DNSSEC validation can be deliberately stopped by an attacker who can cause the resolver to perform a query against a maliciously-constructed zone. Impact: A recursive resolver that is performing DNSSEC validation can be deliberately terminated by any attacker who can cause a query to be performed against a maliciously constructed zone. This will result in a denial of service to clients who rely on that resolver. DNSSEC validation is only performed by a recursive resolver if it has "dnssec-validation auto;" in its configuration or if it has a root trust anchor defined and has "dnssec-validation yes;" set (either by accepting the default or via an explicitly set value of "yes".) By default ISC BIND recursive servers will not validate. (However, ISC defaults may have been changed by your distributor.) CVSS Score: 7.8 CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C) For more information on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System and to obtain your specific environmental score please visit: https://nvd.nist.gov/cvss.cfm?calculator&adv&version=2&vector=(AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C) Workarounds: Disabling DNSSEC validation prevents exploitation of this defect but is not generally recommended. The recommended solution is to upgrade to a patched version. Active exploits: There are no known active exploits at this time. Solution: Upgrade to the patched release most closely related to your current version of BIND: BIND 9 version 9.9.7-P1 http://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.9.7-P1/ BIND 9 version 9.10.2-P2 http://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.10.2-P2/ Acknowledgements: ISC would like to thank Breno Silveira Soares of Servi??o Federal de Processamento de Dados (SERPRO) for discovering and reporting this defect.
