Security Bulletin: Vulnerabilities in BIND impact AIX (CVE-2016-8864 and
CVE-2016-2848)

===============================================================================

SUMMARY:

There are two vulnerabilities in BIND that impact AIX.

===============================================================================

VULNERABILITY DETAILS:

CVEID: CVE-2016-8864 
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2016-8864
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2016-8864
DESCRIPTION: ISC BIND is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the
improper handling of responses containing a DNAME answer in db.c or
resolver.c. By sending a recursive response, a remote attacker could 
exploit this vulnerability to trigger an assertion failure.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5 
CVSS Temporal Score: See 
    https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118526 for the
    current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H))

CVEID: CVE-2016-2848
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2016-2848
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2016-2848
DESCRIPTION: ISC BIND is vulnerable to a denial of service. By sending a
specially crafted DNS packet with malformed options, a remote attacker could 
exploit this vulnerability to trigger an assertion failure.  
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See
    https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118228 for the
    current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

    B. FIXES

        Fixes are available.

        The fixes can be downloaded via ftp or http from:

        ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/bind_fix14.tar
        http://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/bind_fix14.tar
        https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/bind_fix14.tar

        The links above are to a tar file containing this signed
        advisory, fix packages, and OpenSSL signatures for each package.
        The fixes below include prerequisite checking. This will
        enforce the correct mapping between the fixes and AIX
        Technology Levels.

        Please note that the above table refers to AIX TL/SP level as
        opposed to fileset level, i.e., 7.1.3.5 is AIX 7100-03-05.

                   
        The above fixes are cumulative and address previously issued
        AIX BIND security bulletins with respect to SP and TL.           

        To extract the fixes from the tar file:

        tar xvf bind_fix14.tar
        cd bind_fix14 

        Verify you have retrieved the fixes intact:

        The checksums below were generated using the
        "openssl dgst -sha256 &lt;filename&gt;" command as the following:

        These sums should match exactly. The OpenSSL signatures in the tar

    C. FIX AND INTERIM FIX INSTALLATION

        IMPORTANT: If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup
        of the system be created.  Verify it is both bootable and
        readable before proceeding.

        To preview a fix installation:

        installp -a -d fix_name -p all  # where fix_name is the name of the
                                        # fix package being previewed.
        To install a fix package:

        installp -a -d fix_name -X all  # where fix_name is the name of the
                                        # fix package being installed.

        Interim fixes have had limited functional and regression
        testing but not the full regression testing that takes place
        for Service Packs; however, IBM does fully support them.

        Interim fix management documentation can be found at:

        http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix.efixmgmt/home.html
        https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix.efixmgmt/home.html

        To preview an interim fix installation:

        emgr -e epkg_name -p         # where epkg_name is the name of the
                                     # interim fix package being previewed.

        To install an interim fix package:

        emgr -e epkg_name -X         # where epkg_name is the name of the
                                     # interim fix package being installed.

WORKAROUNDS AND MITIGATIONS:
