CVE-2021-25220: DNS forwarders - cache poisoning vulnerability
Updated on 16 Mar 2022
3 Minutes to read
Contributors
Greg ChoulesMark Andrews

CVE: CVE-2021-25220

Document version: 2.0

Posting date: 16 March 2022

Program impacted: BIND

Versions affected:

BIND

9.11.0 -> 9.11.36
9.12.0 -> 9.16.26
9.17.0 -> 9.18.0
BIND Supported Preview Editions:

9.11.4-S1 -> 9.11.36-S1
9.16.8-S1 -> 9.16.26-S1
Versions of BIND 9 earlier than those shown - back to 9.1.0, including
Supported Preview Editions - are also believed to be affected but have
not been tested as they are EOL.

Severity: Medium

Exploitable: Remotely


Description:

When using forwarders, bogus NS records supplied by, or via, those
forwarders may be cached and used by named if it needs to recurse for
any reason, causing it to obtain and pass on potentially incorrect
answers.

Some examples of configurations that will be vulnerable are:

Resolvers using per zone or global forwarding with forward first
(forward first is the default).
Resolvers not using global forwarding, but with per-zone forwarding
with either forward first (the default) or forward only.
Resolvers configured with global forwarding along with zone statements
that disable forwarding for part of the DNS namespace.

Authoritative-only BIND 9 servers are not vulnerable to this flaw.


Impact:

The cache could become poisoned with incorrect records leading to
queries being made to the wrong servers, which might also result
in false information being returned to clients.

CVSS Score: 6.2

CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N/E:U/RL:U/RC:C

Workarounds:

If applicable, modify your configuration to either remove all
forwarding or all possibility of recursion. Depending on your
use-case, it may be possible to use other zone types to replace
forward zones.


Active exploits:

We are not aware of any active exploits.


Solution:

Upgrade to the patched release most closely related to your current
version of BIND:

BIND 9.11.37
BIND 9.16.27
BIND 9.18.1

BIND Supported Preview Edition is a special feature preview branch
of BIND provided to eligible ISC support customers.

BIND 9.11.37-S1
BIND 9.16.27-S1

CVE-2022-0396: DoS from specifically crafted TCP packets
Updated on 16 Mar 2022
2 Minutes to read
Contributors
Greg ChoulesDan Theisen

CVE: CVE-2022-0396

Document version: 2.0

Posting date: 16 March 2022

Program impacted: BIND

Versions affected: BIND 9.16.11 -> 9.16.26, 9.17.0 -> 9.18.0 and
versions 9.16.11-S1 -> 9.16.26-S1 of the BIND Supported Preview Edition.

Severity: Medium

Exploitable: Remotely


Description:

ISC recently discovered an issue in BIND that allows TCP connection
slots to be consumed for an indefinite time frame via a specifically
crafted TCP stream sent from a client. This issue is present in BIND
9.16.11 to 9.16.26 (including S editions), and 9.18.0.

This issue can only be triggered on BIND servers which have 
keep-response-order enabled, which is not the default configuration. The
keep-response-order option is an ACL block; any hosts which are
specified within it will be able to trigger this issue on affected
versions.

Impact:

Specifically crafted TCP streams can cause connections to BIND to remain
in CLOSE_WAIT status for an indefinite period of time, even after the
client has terminated the connection.

CVSS Score: 4.9

CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:F/RL:O/RC:C

Workarounds:

To mitigate this issue in all affected versions of BIND, use the default
setting of keep-response-order { none; }.


Active exploits:

We are not aware of any active exploits.


Solution:

version of BIND:

CVE-2022-0635: DNAME insist with synth-from-dnssec enabled
Updated on 16 Mar 2022
2 Minutes to read
Contributors
Greg ChoulesCathy Almond

CVE: CVE-2022-0635

Document version: 2.0

Posting date: 16 March 2022

Program impacted: BIND

Versions affected: BIND 9.18.0

Severity: High

Exploitable: Remotely


Description:

We refactored the RFC 8198 Aggressive Use of DNSSEC-Validated Cache
feature (synth-from-dnssec) for the new BIND 9.18.0 stable release,
and changed the default so that is now automatically enabled for
dnssec-validating resolvers. Subsequently it was found that repeated
patterns of specific queries to servers with this feature enabled could
cause an INSIST failure in query.c:query_dname which causes named to
terminate unexpectedly.

The vulnerability affects BIND resolvers running 9.18.0 that have both
dnssec-validation and synth-from-dnssec enabled. (Note that
dnssec-validation auto; is the default setting unless configured
otherwise in named.conf and that enabling dnssec-validation automatically
enables synth-from-dnssec unless explicitly disabled)


Impact:

When a vulnerable version of named receives a series of specific queries,
the named process will eventually terminate due to a failed assertion check.

CVSS Score: 7.0

CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C

Workarounds:

The failure can be avoided by adding this option to named.conf:

synth-from-dnssec no;
Text
However we do not recommend disabling this feature other than as a
temporary workaround because it provides protection from
pseudo-random-subdomain attacks against DNSSEC-signed zones.


Active exploits:

We are not aware of any active exploits.


Solution:

Users of BIND 9.18.0 should upgrade to BIND 9.18.1


Acknowledgments:
ISC would like to thank Vincent Levigneron of AFNIC for reporting
this issue to us and for verifying the fix and workaround.

CVE-2022-0667: Assertion failure on delayed DS lookup
Updated on 16 Mar 2022
2 Minutes to read
Contributors
Greg ChoulesPeter Davies

CVE: CVE-2022-0667

Document version: 2.0

Posting date: 16 March 2022

Program impacted: BIND

Versions affected: BIND 9.18.0

Severity: High

Exploitable: Remotely

Description:

In BIND 9.18.0 the recursive client code was refactored. This refactoring
introduced a "backstop lifetime timer".

While BIND is processing a request for a DS record that needs to be
forwarded, it waits until this processing is complete or until the
backstop lifetime timer has timed out. When the resume_dslookup() function
is called as a result of such a timeout, the function does not test whether
the fetch has previously been shut down. This introduces the possibility
of triggering an assertion failure, which could cause the BIND process
to terminate.

Only the BIND 9.18 branch is affected.


Impact:

When the vulnerability is triggered the BIND process will exit.

CVSS Score: 7.0
