Category:	Denial of Service
Title:	ISC BIND DoS Vulnerability (CVE-2024-11187) - Windows
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: It is possible to construct a zone such that some queries to it will generate responses containing numerous records in the Additional section. An attacker sending many such queries can cause either the authoritative server itself or an independent resolver to use disproportionate resources processing the queries. Zones will usually need to have been deliberately crafted to attack this exposure. Vulnerability Impact: A named instance vulnerable to this issue can be compelled to consume excessive CPU resources up to the point where exhaustion of resources effectively prevents the server from responding to other client queries. This issue is most likely to affect resolvers but could also degrade authoritative server performance. - Authoritative servers are affected by this vulnerability. - Resolvers are affected by this vulnerability. Affected Software/OS: ISC BIND version 9.11.37 and prior, 9.16.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.32, 9.20.0 through 9.20.4, 9.21.0 through 9.21.3, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.11.37-S1, 9.16.8-S1 through 9.16.50-S1 and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.32-S1. Solution: Update to version 9.18.33, 9.20.5, 9.21.4, 9.18.33-S1 or later. CVSS Score: 7.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
