Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3924)

CWE-ID: CWE-617 - Reachable Assertion

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 a reachable assertion. A remote attacker can send specially crafted queries to the resolver and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3736)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/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 insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send specially crafted RRSIG query to the DNS server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that stale cache and stale answers are enabled, option stale-answer-client-timeout is set to a positive integer, and the resolver receives an RRSIG query.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3094)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

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 application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling DNS updates. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion by sending a flood of dynamic DNS updates.


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3488)

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 insufficient validation of repeated responses to the same query, where both responses contain ECS pseudo-options, however the first is incorrect and gets rejected by the resolver. A remote attacker controlling a malicious nameserver can respond with two responses in quick succession, each with a "CLIENT-SUBNET" pseudo-option and crash the server.
