Security Advisory Description

named in ISC BIND 9.x before 9.9.9-P5, 9.10.x before 9.10.4-P5, and 9.11.x
before 9.11.0-P2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(assertion failure and daemon exit) via a malformed response to an RTYPE ANY
query. (CVE-2016-9131)

Impact

When the BIND recursion option is enabled, an attacker may exploit this
vulnerability to cause the named process to restart. Additionally, the
restarted process does not trigger the BIG-IP system high availability (HA)
failover event.

By default, the BIND recursion option is not enabled on BIG-IP DNS or GTM
systems. If the BIND recursion option is enabled, BIG-IP DNS or GTM systems are
vulnerable.

Security Advisory Status

F5 Product Development has assigned ID 636699 (BIG-IP) to this vulnerability.

^1 The specified products contain the affected code. However, F5 identifies the
vulnerability status as Not vulnerable because the attacker cannot exploit the
code in default, standard, or recommended configurations.

Security Advisory Recommended Actions

If you are running a version listed in the Versions known to be vulnerable
column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to a version listed
in the Versions known to be not vulnerable column. If the table lists only an
older version than what you are currently running, or does not list a
non-vulnerable version, then no upgrade candidate currently exists.

Mitigation

To mitigate this vulnerability, you can use an iRule to drop client RTYPE=ANY
queries.

Impact of action: The impact of the suggested mitigation will depend on the
specific environment. F5 recommends that you test any such changes during a
maintenance window and consider the possible impact on your specific
environment.

The security issue described in this article has been resolved or does not
affect any F5 products. There will be no further updates, unless new
information is discovered.

Security Advisory Description

named in ISC BIND 9.x before 9.9.9-P5, 9.10.x before 9.10.4-P5, and 9.11.x
before 9.11.0-P2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(assertion failure and daemon exit) via a crafted DS resource record in an
answer. (CVE-2016-9444)

Impact

When the BIND recursion option is enabled, an attacker may exploit this
vulnerability to cause the named process to restart. Additionally, the
restarted process does not trigger the BIG-IP system high availability (HA)
failover event.

By default, the BIND recursion option is not enabled on BIG-IP DNS or GTM
systems. If the BIND recursion option is enabled, BIG-IP DNS or GTM systems are
vulnerable.

Security Advisory Status

F5 Product Development has assigned ID 636702 (BIG-IP) to this vulnerability.

^1 The specified products contain the affected code. However, F5 identifies the
vulnerability status as Not vulnerable because the attacker cannot exploit the
code in default, standard, or recommended configurations.

Security Advisory Recommended Actions

If you are running a version listed in the Versions known to be vulnerable
column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to a version listed
in the Versions known to be not vulnerable column. If the table lists only an
older version than what you are currently running, or does not list a
non-vulnerable version, then no upgrade candidate currently exists.

Mitigation

To mitigate this vulnerability, you can disable the recursion option on the
BIND configuration if it is not required in your environment. To do so, perform
the following procedure.

Impact of action: This procedure disables the recursion feature in the BIND
configuration and restarts the system service that may affect the BIG-IP system
responding to DNS queries. F5 recommends that you perform this procedure during
a scheduled maintenance period.

 1. Log in to the Advanced Shell (bash) of the BIG-IP system as the root user.
 2. Check if the system has recursion enabled for the named service by typing
    the following command:

    grep "recursion\ " /var/named/config/named.conf

    If the output displays "recursion yes," proceed to step 4.

 3. Check if the system has recursion enabled for the dnscached service
    by typing the following command:

    grep "recursion\ " /var/dnscached/config/named.conf

    If the output displays "recursion yes," proceed to step 4.

    Note: The /var/dnscached/config/named.conf configuration file is valid only
    if the BIG-IP system is provisioned or was previously provisioned with the
    BIG-IP APM module.

 4. Use an editor of your choice to remove the following lines from the target
    configuration file:

    recursion yes;
    allow-recursion { <IP-Addresses-ACL> };

    If you have more than one file to edit, after evaluating the files in step
    2 and step 3, repeat step 4 for the next configuration file.

 5. If you have modified the configuration of the dnscached service in step 4,
    you must restart the dnscached service by typing the following command:

    tmsh restart /sys service dnscached

 6. If you have modified the configuration of the named service in step 4, you
    must restart the named service by typing the following command:

    tmsh restart /sys service named
