Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.142322
Category:Denial of Service
Title:ISC BIND DoS Vulnerability (CVE-2019-6467) - Linux
Summary:ISC BIND is prone to a denial of service vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
ISC BIND is prone to a denial of service vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
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.

Vulnerability Impact:
An attacker who can deliberately trigger the condition on a server with a
vulnerable configuration can cause BIND to exit, denying service to other clients.

Affected Software/OS:
BIND 9.12.0 to 9.12.4 and 9.14.0. Also affects all releases in the 9.13
development branch.

Solution:
Update to version 9.12.4-P1, 9.14.1 or later.

CVSS Score:
5.0
