Description Martin Prpič 2015-07-27 20:07:11 UTC
The following flaw, reported by ISC, was found in all versions of BIND 9 (from, and including, 9.1.0):

An error in the handling of TKEY queries can be exploited by an attacker for use as a denial-of-service vector, as a constructed packet can use the defect to trigger a REQUIRE assertion failure, causing BIND to exit.

Both recursive and authoritative servers are vulnerable to this defect. Additionally, exposure is not prevented by either ACLs or configuration options limiting or denying service because the exploitable code occurs early in the packet handling, before checks enforcing those boundaries.

This flaw is fixed in upstream versions 9.9.7-P2 and 9.10.2-P3.

Acknowledgements:

Red Hat would like to thank ISC for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Jonathan Foote as the original reporter.
