CVE-2018-5736

bind: Multiple transfers of a zone in quick succession can cause an assertion failure in rbtdb.c

Published Jan 16, 2019 CVSS 3.0 · 5.3 Medium EPSS 18.0% KEV · Not listed
Description
An error in zone database reference counting can lead to an assertion failure if a server which is running an affected version of BIND attempts several transfers of a slave zone in quick succession. This defect could be deliberately exercised by an attacker who is permitted to cause a vulnerable server to initiate zone transfers (for example: by sending valid NOTIFY messages), causing the named process to exit after failing the assertion test. Affects BIND 9.12.0 and 9.12.1.
