Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.871840
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Update for bind RHSA-2017:1679-01
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is
an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS
server (named) a resolver library (routines for applications to use when
interfacing with DNS) and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating
correctly. Security Fix(es): * A flaw was found in the way BIND handled TSIG
authentication for dynamic updates. A remote attacker able to communicate with
an authoritative BIND server could use this flaw to manipulate the contents of a
zone, by forging a valid TSIG or SIG(0) signature for a dynamic update request.
(CVE-2017-3143) * A flaw was found in the way BIND handled TSIG authentication
of AXFR requests. A remote attacker, able to communicate with an authoritative
BIND server, could use this flaw to view the entire contents of a zone by
sending a specially constructed request packet. (CVE-2017-3142) Red Hat would
like to thank Internet Systems Consortium for reporting these issues. Upstream
acknowledges Clement Berthaux (Synacktiv) as the original reporter of these
issues. Bug Fix(es): * ICANN is planning to perform a Root Zone DNSSEC Key
Signing Key (KSK) rollover during October 2017. Maintaining an up-to-date KSK,
by adding the new root zone KSK, is essential for ensuring that validating DNS
resolvers continue to function following the rollover. (BZ#1458234)

Affected Software/OS:
bind on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6),
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6),
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6)
