Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5738)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access controls. When configured with "recursion yes;" and match list values are not provided for "allow-query-cache" or "allow-query", the "allow-recursion" setting may permit all hosts to perform recursion. A remote attacker can bypass intended recursion access controls, make a recursive query to a BIND nameserver in certain cases and examine the results of queries answered from the cache to determine which queries a server has previously responded to.
