Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-3854-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'bind9' package(s) announced via the DSA-3854-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'bind9' package(s) announced via the DSA-3854-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in BIND, a DNS server implementation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2017-3136

Oleg Gorokhov of Yandex discovered that BIND does not properly handle certain queries when using DNS64 with the 'break-dnssec yes,' option, allowing a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service.

CVE-2017-3137

It was discovered that BIND makes incorrect assumptions about the ordering of records in the answer section of a response containing CNAME or DNAME resource records, leading to situations where BIND exits with an assertion failure. An attacker can take advantage of this condition to cause a denial-of-service.

CVE-2017-3138

Mike Lalumiere of Dyn, Inc. discovered that BIND can exit with a REQUIRE assertion failure if it receives a null command string on its control channel. Note that the fix applied in Debian is only applied as a hardening measure. Details about the issue can be found at [link moved to references] .

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u11.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-12.3.

We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'bind9' package(s) on Debian 8.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
