Summary:ISC BIND is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability in the GSSAPI security; policy negotiation.
Description:Summary:
ISC BIND is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability in the GSSAPI security
policy negotiation.

Vulnerability Insight:
GSS-TSIG is an extension to the TSIG protocol which is intended to support
the secure exchange of keys for use in verifying the authenticity of communications between parties on a
network.

SPNEGO is a negotiation mechanism used by GSSAPI, the application protocol interface for GSS-TSIG.

The SPNEGO implementation used by BIND has been found to be vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack.

Vulnerability Impact:
The most likely outcome of a successful exploitation of the vulnerability
is a crash of the named process. However, remote code execution, while unproven, is theoretically possible.
