Descriptions

By sending specific queries to the resolver, an attacker can cause named to crash.

Mediante el envío de consultas específicas al resolver, un atacante puede causar la caída de named

A flaw was found in the Bind package, where the resolver can crash when stale cache and stale answers are enabled, option stale-answer-client-timeout is set to 0 and there is a stale CNAME in the cache for an incoming query. By sending specific queries to the resolver, an attacker can cause named to crash.

Yehuda Afek, Anat Bremler-Barr, and Shani Stajnrod discovered that Bind incorrectly handled large delegations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to reduce performance, leading to a denial of service. It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled statistics requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive memory contents, or cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

*Credits: ISC would like to thank Maksym Odinintsev for bringing this vulnerability to our attention.
