Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU4347
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9131
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause denial of service conditions.
The vulnerability exists due to assertion failure when processing DNS responses. A remote attacker can send a malformed response to an RTYPE ANY query, trigger assertion failure and cause denial of service.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability will result in DoS attack against vulnerable application.
MitigationUpdate the affected package bind to version 9.11.0.P2-1.
Vulnerable software versionsArch Linux: All versions
External linkshttp://security.archlinux.org/advisory/ASA-201701-15
Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

4) Improper input validation
EUVDB-ID: #VU4351
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9778
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause denial of service conditions.
The vulnerability exists due to assertion failure when processing input data. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted query to the target system that uses the nxdomain-redirect feature to cover a zone for which it provides authoritative service, trigger assertion failure and cause denial of service.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability will result in DoS attack against vulnerable application.
Mitigation
Update the affected package bind to version 9.11.0.P2-1.
