BIND DNS Nameserver, DNSSEC validation Vulnerability

Overview

A vulnerability exists in the way BIND 9 handles recursive client queries that may cause additional records to be added to its cache.

I. Description

BIND 9 contains a vulnerability in the way recursive client queries are handled. According to ISC:

A nameserver with DNSSEC validation enabled may incorrectly add unauthenticated records to its cache that are received during the resolution of a recursive client query with checking disabled (CD), or when the nameserver internally triggers a query for missing records for recursive name resolution. Cached records can be returned in response to subsequent client queries with or without requesting DNSSEC records (DO). In addition, some of them can be returned to queries with or without checking disabled (CD).

This issue affects BIND versions 9.0.x, 9.1.x, 9.2.x, 9.3.x, 9.4.0 -> 9.4.3-P3, 9.5.0, 9.5.1, 9.5.2, 9.6.0, 9.6.1-P1.

II. Impact

An attacker may be able to manipulate cache data and perform DNS Cache Poisoning.

III. Solution

Upgrade

BIND should be upgraded to version 9.4.3-P5, 9.5.2-P2 or 9.6.1-P3.
Disable DNSSEC Validation
According to ISC:
Disabling DNSSEC validation will also prevent incorrect caching of additional records due to this defect. However, this removes DNSSEC validation protection and the ability of the nameserver to deliver authenticated data in query responses.

Title: DSA-1961-1 bind9 -- DNS cache poisoning
Description: Michael Sinatra discovered that the DNS resolver component in BIND does not properly check DNS records contained in additional sections of DNS responses, leading to a cache poisoning vulnerability. This vulnerability is only present in resolvers which have been configured with DNSSEC trust anchors, which is still rare. Note that this update contains an internal ABI change, which means that all BIND-related packages must be updated at the same time. In the unlikely event that you have compiled your own software against libdns, you must recompile this program, too. For the old stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1:9.3.4-2etch6. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1:9.5.1.dfsg.P3-1+lenny1. For the unstable distribution and the testing distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 9.6.1.dfsg.P2-1. We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages.
