Abstract
========
A specially crafted query that includes malformed rdata can cause
named to terminate with an assertion failure while rejecting
the malformed query.
This vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2013-4854.
Technical Details
=================
Authoritative and recursive servers are equally vulnerable.
Intentional exploitation of this condition can cause a
denial of service in nameservers running affected versions
of BIND 9. BIND Access Control Lists do not provide any
protection from malicious clients.
In addition to the named server, applications built using
libdns from the affected source distributions may crash
with assertion failures triggered in the same fashion.
Solutions and Workarounds
=========================
If feasible, as a workaround, restrict access to the nameserver
to only trusted clients via a packet filter.
Solutions:
- - - Install and use a bind package from pkgsrc.
- - - Update libdns from a daily build later than the fix date: fetch from
http://nyftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/<branch>/<date>/<arch>/
the file binary/sets/base.tgz
for NetBSD 5.x:
cd / && tar xzpf <base.tgz-path> ./usr/lib/libdns.so.1.4
if your arch has 32bit-compat, update the compat lib as well,
e.g. for amd64:
cd / && tar xzpf <base.tgz-path> ./usr/lib/i386/libdns.so.1.4
for NetBSD 6.x:
cd / && tar xzpf <base.tgz-path> ./usr/lib/libdns.so.5.8
if your arch has 32bit-compat, update the compat lib as well,
e.g. for amd64:
cd / && tar xzpf <base.tgz-path> ./usr/lib/i386/libdns.so.5.8
- - - Rebuild your system with the fixes applied.
The wrong bounds checking is in bind's lib/dns/rdata/generic/keydata_65533.c
Fixed versions:
current:
src/external/bsd/bind/dist/lib/dns/rdata/generic/keydata_65533.c 1.6
netbsd-6:
src/external/bsd/bind/dist/lib/dns/rdata/generic/keydata_65533.c 1.3.4.2
