Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 17 vulnerabilities.
1) Predictable from Observable State
EUVDB-ID: #VU66548
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30698
CWE-ID:
CWE-341 - Predictable from Observable State
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to poison DNS cache.
The vulnerability exists due to the way Unbound handles delegation information expiration event. A remote attacker who controls a rouge DNS server can force the Unbound instance to cache incorrect information about subdomain delegation and permanently poison the DNS cache, e.g. perform the "ghost domain names" attack.
The attack is carried out when Unbound is queried for a subdomain of a rogue domain name. The rogue nameserver returns delegation information for the subdomain that updates Unbound's delegation cache. This action can be repeated before expiry of the delegation information by querying Unbound for a second level subdomain which the rogue nameserver provides new delegation information. Since Unbound is a child-centric resolver, the ever-updating child delegation information can keep a rogue domain name resolvable long after revocation.

2) Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action
EUVDB-ID: #VU61422
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-25220
CWE-ID:
CWE-350 - Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to poison DNS cache.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in DNS forwarder implementation. When using forwarders, bogus NS records supplied by, or via, those forwarders may be cached and used by named if it needs to recurse for any reason, causing it to obtain and pass on potentially incorrect answers. The cache could become poisoned with incorrect records leading to
queries being made to the wrong servers, which might also result in
false information being returned to clients.
