Descriptions
In ISC BIND9 versions BIND 9.11.14 -> 9.11.19, BIND 9.14.9 -> 9.14.12, BIND 9.16.0 -> 9.16.3, BIND Supported Preview Edition 9.11.14-S1 -> 9.11.19-S1: Unless a nameserver is providing authoritative service for one or more zones and at least one zone contains an empty non-terminal entry containing an asterisk ("*") character, this defect cannot be encountered. A would-be attacker who is allowed to change zone content could theoretically introduce such a record in order to exploit this condition to cause denial of service, though we consider the use of this vector unlikely because any such attack would require a significant privilege level and be easily traceable.
En las versiones ISC BIND9 BIND 9.11.14 -> 9.11.19, BIND 9.14.9 -> 9.14.12, BIND 9.16.0 -> 9.16.3, BIND Supported Preview Edition 9.11.14-S1 -> 9.11.19-S1: A menos que un servidor de nombres proporcione un servicio autorizado para una o más zonas y al menos una zona contenga una entrada sin terminal vacía que contenga un carácter asterisco ("*"), este defecto no puede ser encontrado. Un posible atacante al que se le permite cambiar el contenido de la zona, podría introducir teóricamente dicho registro para explotar esta condición y causar una denegación de servicio, aunque consideramos que el uso de este vector es poco probable porque cualquier ataque requeriría de un nivel de privilegio significativo y que sea fácilmente rastreable
A flaw was found in bind when an asterisk character is present in an empty non-terminal location within the DNS graph. This flaw could trigger an assertion failure, causing bind to crash. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled large responses during zone transfers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service. It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled certain asterisk characters in zone files. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
