bind cryptographically weak query ids

ISC BIND 9 through 9.5.0a5 uses a weak random number generator during generation of DNS query ids when answering resolver questions or sending NOTIFY messages to slave name servers, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess the next query id and perform DNS cache poisoning.

dnskeygen in BIND 8.2.4 and earlier, and dnssec-keygen in BIND 9.1.2 and earlier, set insecure permissions for a HMAC-MD5 shared secret key file used for DNS Transactional Signatures (TSIG), which allows attackers to obtain the keys and perform dynamic DNS updates.

security flaw

Format string vulnerability in nslookupComplain function in BIND 4 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

Denial of service in BIND by improperly closing TCP sessions via so_linger.

INSIST failure in ISC BIND recursive query

BIND before 9.2.6-P1 and 9.3.x before 9.3.2-P1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a flood of recursive queries, which cause an INSIST failure when the response is received after the recursion queue is empty.

BIND before 9.2.6-P1 and 9.3.x before 9.3.2-P1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain SIG queries, which cause an assertion failure when multiple RRsets are returned.

security flaw

BIND 4 and BIND 8 allow remote attackers to access sensitive information such as environment variables.

The supersede_lease function in memory.c in ISC DHCP (dhcpd) server 2.0pl5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a DHCPDISCOVER packet with a 32 byte client-identifier, which causes the packet to be interpreted as a corrupt uid and causes the server to exit with "corrupt lease uid."

Unspecified vulnerability in ISC BIND allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted DNS message with a "broken" TSIG, as demonstrated by the OUSPG PROTOS DNS test suite.

security flaw

Buffer overflow in nslookupComplain function in BIND 4 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in BIND 8.2 via NXT records.

When compiled with the -DALLOW_UPDATES option, bind allows dynamic updates to the DNS server, allowing for malicious modification of DNS records.

BIND 4 (BIND4) and BIND 8 (BIND8), if used as a target forwarder, allows remote attackers to gain privileged access via a "Kashpureff-style DNS cache corruption" attack.

security flaw

Buffer overflow in transaction signature (TSIG) handling code in BIND 8 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

An "incorrect assumption" in the authvalidated validator function in BIND 9.3.0, when DNSSEC is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (named server exit) via crafted DNS packets that cause an internal consistency test (self-check) to fail.

Buffer overflow in the code for recursion and glue fetching in BIND 8.4.4 and 8.4.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via queries that trigger the overflow in the q_usedns array that tracks nameservers and addresses.

Buffer overflow in host command allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands via a long response to an AXFR query.

Multiple buffer overflows in ISC DHCP Distribution server (dhcpd) 1.0 and 2.0 allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary commands via long options.

security flaw

Format string vulnerability in the log functions in dhcpd for dhcp 2.x allows remote DNS servers to execute arbitrary code via certain DNS messages, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-0702.

The DHCP daemon (DHCPD) for ISC DHCP 3.0.1rc12 and 3.0.1rc13, when compiled in environments that do not provide the vsnprintf function, uses C include files that define vsnprintf to use the less safe vsprintf function, which can lead to buffer overflow vulnerabilities that enable a denial of service (server crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code.
