Title:ISC BIND Information Disclosure Vulnerability (CVE-2017-3142) - Linux
Summary:ISC BIND is prone to an information disclosure vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
ISC BIND is prone to an information disclosure vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
An attacker who is able to send and receive messages to an
authoritative DNS server, and who has knowledge of a valid TSIG key name, may be able to
circumvent TSIG authentication of AXFR requests via a carefully constructed request packet. A
server that relies solely on TSIG keys for protection with no other ACL protection could be
manipulated into:

- providing an AXFR of a zone to an unauthorized recipient, and/or

- accepting bogus NOTIFY packets.

Vulnerability Impact:
- An unauthorized AXFR (full zone transfer) permits an attacker
to view the entire contents of a zone. Protection of zone contents is often a commercial or
business requirement.

- If accepted, a NOTIFY sets the zone refresh interval to 'now'. If there is not already a
refresh cycle in progress then named will initiate one by asking for the SOA RR from its list of
masters. If there is already a refresh cycle in progress, then named will queue the new refresh
request. If there is already a queued refresh request, the new NOTIFY will be discarded. Bogus
notifications cannot be used to force a zone transfer from a malicious server, but could trigger
a high rate of zone refresh cycles.

Affected Software/OS:
BIND 9.4.0 through 9.8.8, 9.9.0 through 9.9.10-P1, 9.10.0
through 9.10.5-P1, 9.11.0 through 9.11.1-P1, 9.9.3-S1 through 9.9.10-S2 and 9.10.5-S1 through
9.10.5-S2.

Solution:
Update to version 9.9.10-P2, 9.10.5-P2, 9.11.1-P2, 9.9.10-S3,
9.10.5-S3 or later.
