CVE-2019-6467

An error in the nxdomain redirect feature can cause BIND to exit with an INSIST assertion failure in query.c

Published Oct 9, 2019 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS 5.6% KEV · Not listed
Description
A programming error in the nxdomain-redirect feature can cause an assertion failure in query.c if the alternate namespace used by nxdomain-redirect is a descendant of a zone that is served locally. The most likely scenario where this might occur is if the server, in addition to performing NXDOMAIN redirection for recursive clients, is also serving a local copy of the root zone or using mirroring to provide the root zone, although other configurations are also possible. Versions affected: BIND 9.12.0-> 9.12.4, 9.14.0. Also affects all releases in the 9.13 development branch.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Upgrade to the patched release most closely related to your current version of BIND: + BIND 9.12.4-P1 + BIND 9.14.1


Vendor Workaround

Exploitation of this defect can be effectively prevented by disabling the nxdomain-redirect feature in the nameserver's configuration.
