CVE: CVE-2022-0667
Document version: 2.0
Posting date: 16 March 2022
Program impacted: BIND
Versions affected: BIND 9.18.0
Severity: High
Exploitable: Remotely
Description:
In BIND 9.18.0 the recursive client code was refactored. This
refactoring
introduced a "backstop lifetime timer".
While BIND is processing a request for a DS record that needs to be
forwarded, it waits until this processing is complete or until the
backstop
lifetime timer has timed out. When the `resume_dslookup()` function is
called as a result of such a timeout, the function does not test whether
the fetch has previously been shut down. This introduces the possibility
of triggering an assertion failure, which could cause the BIND process
to terminate.
Only the BIND 9.18 branch is affected.
Impact:
When the vulnerability is triggered the BIND process will exit.
CVSS Score: 7.0
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1:AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C
