Vulnerability identifier: #VU45817
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 5.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CWE-ID: CWE-264
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform unauthorized actions.

The vulnerability exists due to change 4885 in BIND inadvertently caused "update-policy" rules of type "subdomain" to be treated as if they were of type "zonesub", allowing updates to all parts of the zone along with the intended subdomain. A remote user with privileges to change a specific subset of the zone's content could abuse these unintended additional privileges to update other contents of the zone.
