Detail

Product: Solaris 9 Operating System Solaris 10 Operating System OpenSolaris

An insufficient validation vulnerability in named(1m) due to incorrectly processing the return value of OpenSSL library functions "EVP_VerifyFinal()" and "DSA_do_verify()" may allow a remote unprivileged user to trick named(1m) into believing DNSSEC signatures that should not have passed validation, and subsequently forge DNS responses and redirect Internet services.

Sun acknowledges with thanks, Google Security Team (for the original OpenSSL issue),  Florian Weimer for spotting that BIND was vulnerable and the ISC for for bringing this issue to our attention.

Title: BIND 9.6.0, 9.5.1, 9.5.0, 9.4.3, and earlier does not properly check the return value from the OpenSSL DSA_verify function, which allows remote attackers to bypass validation of the certificate chain via a malformed SSL/TLS signature, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2008-5077.

Title: DSA-1703-1 bind9 -- interpretation conflict
Description: It was discovered that BIND, an implementation of the DNS protocol suite, does not properly check the result of an OpenSSL function which is used to verify DSA cryptographic signatures. As a result, incorrect DNS resource records in zones protected by DNSSEC could be accepted as genuine. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1:9.3.4-2etch4. For the unstable distribution and the testing distribution, this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your BIND packages.

Title: USN-706-1 -- bind9 vulnerability
Description: It was discovered that Bind did not properly perform certificate verification. When DNSSEC with DSA certificates are in use, a remote attacker could exploit this to bypass certificate validation to spoof DNS entries and poison DNS caches. Among other things, this could lead to misdirected email and web traffic.

Title: RHSA-2009:0020 -- bind security update (Moderate)
Description: Updated Bind packages to correct a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, 4, and 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS (Domain Name System) protocols. A flaw was discovered in the way BIND checked the return value of the OpenSSL DSA_do_verify function. On systems using DNSSEC, a malicious zone could present a malformed DSA certificate and bypass proper certificate validation, allowing spoofing attacks. (CVE-2009-0025)
