Descriptions

BIND servers are vulnerable if they are running an affected version and are configured to use GSS-TSIG features. In a configuration which uses BIND's default settings the vulnerable code path is not exposed, but a server can be rendered vulnerable by explicitly setting valid values for the tkey-gssapi-keytab or tkey-gssapi-credentialconfiguration options. Although the default configuration is not vulnerable, GSS-TSIG is frequently used in networks where BIND is integrated with Samba, as well as in mixed-server environments that combine BIND servers with Active Directory domain controllers. The most likely outcome of a successful exploitation of the vulnerability is a crash of the named process. However, remote code execution, while unproven, is theoretically possible. Affects: BIND 9.5.0 -> 9.11.27, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.11, and versions BIND 9.11.3-S1 -> 9.11.27-S1 and 9.16.8-S1 -> 9.16.11-S1 of BIND Supported Preview Edition. Also release versions 9.17.0 -> 9.17.1 of the BIND 9.17 development branch

Los servidores BIND son vulnerables si ejecutan una versión afectada y están configurados para usar las funcionalidades GSS-TSIG. En una configuración que usa la configuración predeterminada de BIND, la ruta del código vulnerable no está expuesta, pero un servidor puede volverse vulnerable estableciendo explícitamente valores válidos para las opciones de configuración tkey-gssapi-keytab o tkey-gssapi-credential. Aunque la configuración predeterminada no es vulnerable, GSS-TSIG se usa con frecuencia en redes donde BIND está integrado con Samba, así como entornos de servidores mixtos que combinan servidores BIND con controladores de dominio de Active Directory. El resultado más probable de una explotación con éxito de la vulnerabilidad es un bloqueo del proceso nombrado. Sin embargo, la ejecución de código remota, aunque no está probada, es teóricamente posible. Afecta: BIND versiones 9.5.0 hasta 9.11.27, versiones 9.12.0 hasta 9.16.11 y versiones de BIND 9.11.3-S1 hasta 9.11.27-S1 y versiones 9.16.8-S1 hasta 9.16.11-S1 de BIND Supported Preview Edition. También versiones de lanzamiento 9.17.0 hasta 9.17.1 de la rama de desarrollo de BIND versión 9.17

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the SPNEGO implementation used by BIND. This flaw allows a remote attacker to cause the named process to crash or possibly perform remote code execution. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of ISC BIND. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of TKEY queries. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the "bind" user.

*Credits: ISC would like to thank an anonymous party, working in conjunction with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative, for reporting this issue to us.
