Category:	Denial of Service
Title:	ISC BIND DoS Vulnerability (CVE-2021-25214) - Linux
Summary:	ISC BIND is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.
Description:	Summary: ISC BIND is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: Incremental zone transfers (IXFR) provide a way of transferring changed portion(s) of a zone between servers. An IXFR stream containing SOA records with an owner name other than the transferred zone's apex may cause the receiving named server to inadvertently remove the SOA record for the zone in question from the zone database. This leads to an assertion failure when the next SOA refresh query for that zone is made. Vulnerability Impact: When a vulnerable version of named receives a malformed IXFR triggering the flaw described above, the named process will terminate due to a failed assertion the next time the transferred secondary zone is refreshed. Affected Software/OS: BIND 9.8.5 through 9.8.8, 9.9.3 through 9.11.29, 9.12.0 through 9.16.13, 9.9.3-S1 through 9.11.29-S1, 9.16.8-S1 through 9.16.13-S1 and 9.17.0 through 9.17.11. Solution: Update to version 9.11.31, 9.16.15, 9.17.12, 9.11.31-S1, 9.16.15-S1 or later. CVSS Score: 4.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:P
