Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2016-07-19 07:37:04 UTC
From ${URL} :

Earlier today ISC disclosed a vulnerability affecting BIND (specifically
affecting lightweight resolution functionality in BIND, NOT normal DNS
resolution.  The bug affects the lwresd program or named if is configured
to do lightweight resolution using the "lwres" configuration statement.)

The defect was publicly disclosed as CVE-2016-2775 and the official
vulnerability disclosure is here:

  https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01393/74/CVE-2016-2775

Ordinarily we try to give advance notice to packagers when we are
preparing new releases of BIND.  Unfortunately our timetable for this
incident changed in mid-course when the reporting party informed us
that reproduction code was already available in a public bug repository.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the acceleration of our
disclosure timetable.

New releases of BIND are available which fix the lwres issue
(CVE-2016-2775) and include fixes for a few regressions which
had been introduced in recent versions.  You can find them in
the usual place on our site:

  https://www.isc.org/downloads

A standalone patch diff addressing only CVE-2016-2775 can be made
available upon request to any parties who want only the lwres CVE
fix and not the other regression fixes.  Contact security-officer@isc.org
if you wish to request it.



@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

CVE-2016-2775 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2016-2775):
  ISC BIND 9.x before 9.9.9-P2, 9.10.x before 9.10.4-P2, and 9.11.x before
  9.11.0b2, when lwresd or the named lwres option is enabled, allows remote
  attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a long request
  that uses the lightweight resolver protocol.
