Comment: This bulletin contains two (2) ISC security advisories.
- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------
CVE: CVE-2015-8704
Document Version: 2.0
Posting date: 19 January 2016
Program Impacted: BIND
Versions affected: 9.3.0->9.8.8, 9.9.0->9.9.8-P2,
9.9.3-S1->9.9.8-S3, 9.10.0->9.10.3-P2
Severity: High
Exploitable: Remotely
Description:
A buffer size check used to guard against overflow could cause
named to exit with an INSIST failure In apl_42.c.
Impact:
A server could exit due to an INSIST failure in apl_42.c when
performing certain string formatting operations. Examples include
(but may not be limited to):
- Slaves using text-format db files could be vulnerable if
receiving a malformed record in a zone transfer from their master.
- Masters using text-format db files could be vulnerable if
they accept a malformed record in a DDNS update message.
- Recursive resolvers are potentially vulnerable when debug
logging, if they are fed a deliberately malformed record by
a malicious server.
- A server which has cached a specially constructed record
could encounter this condition while performing 'rndc dumpdb'.
Please Note:
Versions of BIND from 9.3 through 9.8 are also affected, but
these branches are beyond their "end of life" (EOL) and no longer
receive testing or security fixes from ISC. For current information
on which versions are actively supported, please see
http://www.isc.org/downloads/.

CVE: CVE-2015-8705
Document Version: 2.0
Posting date: 19 January 2016
Program Impacted: BIND
Versions affected: 9.10.0->9.10.3-P2
Severity: Medium
Exploitable: Remotely
Description:
In versions of BIND 9.10, errors can occur when OPT pseudo-RR
data or ECS options are formatted to text. In 9.10.3 through
9.10.3-P2, the issue may result in a REQUIRE assertion failure
in buffer.c. In prior 9.10 versions, it may result in named
crashing (such as with a segmentation fault) or other misbehavior
due to a buffer overrun.
Impact:
This issue can affect both authoritative and recursive servers
if they are performing debug logging. (It may also crash related
tools which use the same code, such as dig or delv.)
CVSS Score: 5.4
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C)

Workarounds:
CVE-2015-8705 can be avoided in named by disabling debug logging.
Active exploits:
No known active exploits.
Solution:
Upgrade to the patched release most closely related to your
current version of BIND. This can be downloaded from
http://www.isc.org/downloads.
- BIND 9 version 9.10.3-P3
