query for a malformed zone
5 June 2013
===========================================================================
AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary
---------------------------------
Product: BIND
Publisher: ISC
Operating System: UNIX variants (UNIX, Linux, OSX)
Windows
Impact/Access: Denial of Service -- Remote/Unauthenticated
Resolution: Patch/Upgrade
CVE Names: CVE-2013-3919
Original Bulletin:
https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-00967
- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------
A defect exists which allows an attacker to crash a BIND 9 recursive
resolver with a RUNTIME_CHECK error in resolver.c
CVE: CVE-2013-3919
Document Version: 1.0
Posting date: 04 Jun 2013
Program Impacted: BIND 9
Versions affected:
BIND 9.6-ESV-R9, 9.8.5, and 9.9.3 are affected
Versions 9.6.0 through 9.6-ESV-R8, 9.8.0 through 9.8.4-P2, and
9.9.0 through 9.9.2-P2 ARE NOT affected.
Other major branches of BIND (e.g. 9.7, 9.5, etc) are not
vulnerable but they are no longer supported by ISC and may lack
other important security fixes.
Severity: High
Exploitable: Remotely
Description:
A bug has been discovered in the most recent releases of BIND 9
which has the potential for deliberate exploitation as a
denial-of-service attack. By sending a recursive resolver a query
for a record in a specially malformed zone, an attacker can cause
BIND 9 to exit with a fatal "RUNTIME_CHECK" error in resolver.c
Impact:
Triggering this defect will cause the affected server to exit
with an error, denying service to recursive DNS clients that use
that particular server.
CVSS Score: 7.8
CVSS Equation: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C)

Workarounds: None.
Active exploits:
At the time of this advisory no intentional exploitation of this
bug has been observed in the wild. However, the existence of the
issue has been disclosed on an open mailing list with enough
accompanying detail to reverse engineer an attack and ISC is
therefore treating this as a Type II (publicly disclosed)
vulnerability, in accordance with our Phased Disclosure Process.
Solution:
New versions of BIND are being provided which contain a fix for
the defect. The recommended solution is to upgrade to the patched
release most closely related to your current version of BIND.
These can all be downloaded from http://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9
- BIND 9 version 9.9.3-P1
- BIND 9 version 9.8.5-P1
- BIND 9 version 9.6-ESV-R9-P1
