"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has bind packages installed that are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities:
- If a server hosts a zone containing a KEY Resource Record, or a resolver DNSSEC-validates a KEY
Resource Record from a DNSSEC-signed domain in cache, a client can exhaust resolver CPU resources by
sending a stream of SIG(0) signed requests. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.0.0 through 9.11.37,
9.16.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.27, 9.19.0 through 9.19.24, 9.9.3-S1 through 9.11.37-S1,
9.16.8-S1 through 9.16.49-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.27-S1. (CVE-2024-1975)
- The code that processes control channel messages sent to `named` calls certain functions recursively
during packet parsing. Recursion depth is only limited by the maximum accepted packet size; depending on
the environment, this may cause the packet-parsing code to run out of available stack memory, causing
`named` to terminate unexpectedly. Since each incoming control channel message is fully parsed before its
contents are authenticated, exploiting this flaw does not require the attacker to hold a valid RNDC key;
only network access to the control channel's configured TCP port is necessary. This issue affects BIND 9
versions 9.2.0 through 9.16.43, 9.18.0 through 9.18.18, 9.19.0 through 9.19.16, 9.9.3-S1 through
9.16.43-S1, and 9.18.0-S1 through 9.18.18-S1. (CVE-2023-3341)
- A flaw in the networking code handling DNS-over-TLS queries may cause `named` to terminate unexpectedly
due to an assertion failure. This happens when internal data structures are incorrectly reused under
significant DNS-over-TLS query load. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.18.0 through 9.18.18 and
9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.18-S1. (CVE-2023-4236)
- Resolver caches and authoritative zone databases that hold significant numbers of RRs for the same
hostname (of any RTYPE) can suffer from degraded performance as content is being added or updated, and
also when handling client queries for this name. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through
9.11.37, 9.16.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.27, 9.19.0 through 9.19.24, 9.11.4-S1 through
9.11.37-S1, 9.16.8-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.27-S1. (CVE-2024-1737)
- Client queries that trigger serving stale data and that also require lookups in local authoritative zone
data may result in an assertion failure. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.16.13 through 9.16.50,
9.18.0 through 9.18.27, 9.19.0 through 9.19.24, 9.11.33-S1 through 9.11.37-S1, 9.16.13-S1 through
9.16.50-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.27-S1. (CVE-2024-4076)
