Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.892910
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-2910-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'ldns' package(s) announced via the DLA-2910-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'ldns' package(s) announced via the DLA-2910-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that there were four issues in ldns, a library used in Domain Name System (DNS) related programs:

CVE-2020-19860

When ldns version 1.7.1 verifies a zone file, the ldns_rr_new_frm_str_internal function has a heap out of bounds read vulnerability. An attacker can leak information on the heap by constructing a zone file payload.

CVE-2020-19861

When a zone file in ldns 1.7.1 is parsed, the function ldns_nsec3_salt_data is too trusted for the length value obtained from the zone file. When the memcpy is copied, the 0xfe - ldns_rdf_size(salt_rdf) byte data can be copied, causing heap overflow information leakage.

CVE-2017-1000231

A double-free vulnerability in parse.c in ldns 1.7.0 have unspecified impact and attack vectors.

CVE-2017-1000232

A double-free vulnerability in str2host.c in ldns 1.7.0 have unspecified impact and attack vectors.

For Debian 9 Stretch, these four problems have been fixed in version 1.7.0-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ldns packages.
