Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2011-12-19 17:51:58 UTC
From secunia security advisory at $URL:

Description:
1) A memory allocation error when processing certain RRs (Resource Records) can be exploited to cause a crash by sending signed duplicate redirecting RRs.

2) An error when processing certain responses for NSEC3-signed zones can be exploited to e.g. cause an assertion error or crash by sending specially crafted responses.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 1.4.14.


Solution:
Update to version 1.4.13p2 and 1.4.14 or apply patches.

CVE-2011-4869 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-4869):
  validator/val_nsec3.c in Unbound before 1.4.13p2 does not properly perform
  proof processing for NSEC3-signed zones, which allows remote DNS servers to
  cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a malformed response that lacks
  expected NSEC3 records, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-4528.

CVE-2011-4528 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-4528):
  Unbound before 1.4.13p2 attempts to free unallocated memory during
  processing of duplicate CNAME records in a signed zone, which allows remote
  DNS servers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted
  response.
