Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.


1) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2795)

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when processing large delegations. A remote attacker can flood the target resolver with queries and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2881)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when reusing HTTP connection while requesting statistics from the stats channel. A remote DNS server under attacker's control trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or perform a denial of service attack.


3) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2906)

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in key processing when using TKEY records in Diffie-Hellman mode with OpenSSL 3.0.0 and later versions. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3080)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when resolvers are configured to answer from stale cache with zero stale-answer-client-timeout and there is a stale CNAME in the cache for an incoming query. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the DNS resolver and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38177)

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the DNSSEC verification code for the ECDSA algorithm. A remote attacker can spoof the target resolver with responses that have a malformed ECDSA signature and perform denial of service attack.


6) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38178)

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the DNSSEC verification code for the EdDSA algorithm. A remote attacker can spoof the target resolver with responses that have a malformed EdDSA signature and perform denial of service attack.
