Descriptions
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 even on servers whose configuration does not otherwise make use of it, almost all current BIND servers are vulnerable. In releases of BIND dating from March 2018 and after, an assertion check in tsig.c detects this inconsistent state and deliberately exits. Prior to the introduction of the check the server would continue operating in an inconsistent state, with potentially harmful results.
Al usar un mensaje especialmente diseñado, un atacante puede causar que un servidor BIND alcance un estado inconsistente si el atacante conoce (o adivina con éxito) el nombre de una clave TSIG utilizada por el servidor. Dado que BIND, por defecto, configura una clave de sesión local incluso en servidores cuya configuración no la usa, casi todos los servidores BIND actuales son vulnerables. En los lanzamientos de BIND que datan de marzo de 2018 y posteriores, una comprobación de afirmación en el archivo tsig.c detecta este estado inconsistente y se cierra deliberadamente. Antes de la introducción de la comprobación, el servidor continuaría funcionando en un estado inconsistente, con resultados potencialmente dañinos.
An assertion failure was found in BIND, which checks the validity of messages containing TSIG resource records. This flaw allows an attacker that knows or successfully guesses the name of the TSIG key used by the server to use a specially-crafted message, potentially causing a BIND server to reach an inconsistent state or cause a denial of service. A majority of BIND servers have an internally-generated TSIG session key whose name is trivially guessable, and that key exposes the vulnerability unless specifically disabled.
A logic error in code which checks TSIG validity can be used to trigger an assertion failure in tsig.c.
