Bug 478316 (CVE-2013-4854) – <net-dns/bind-{9.9.3_p2, 9.8.5_p2} A specially crafted query can cause BIND to terminate abnormally (CVE-2013-4854)

• Product: Gentoo Security
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description dwfreed 2013-07-27 05:04:35 UTC]

From the URL:

A specially crafted query that includes malformed rdata can cause named to terminate with an assertion failure while rejecting the malformed query.

Solution:

BIND 9 version 9.8.5-P2 and 9.9.3-P2 have been released to resolve this.

ebuild for Bind 9.9.3_p2

Here is an ebuild for Bind 9.9.3_p2; the only change I had to make was to remove the patch for bug 463626 which was added upstream.

I built and tested this ebuild using a minimal set of use flags and I also built but did not extensively test a more full-featured build with most of the database backends enabled.

Created attachment 354554 [details, diff]
bind-9.9.3_p2.ebuild.patch

Please submit diffs.

Why:
 - stable keywords?
 - no newstats/ecdsa?
 - no systemd unit file?
 - no generate-rndc-key.sh?

9.9.3-P2 has been added yesterday. Feel free to stabilize.

CVE-2013-4854 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-4854):
  The RFC 5011 implementation in rdata.c in ISC BIND 9.7.x and 9.8.x before
  9.8.5-P2, 9.8.6b1, 9.9.x before 9.9.3-P2, and 9.9.4b1, and DNSco BIND
  9.9.3-S1 before 9.9.3-S1-P1 and 9.9.4-S1b1, allows remote attackers to cause
  a denial of service (assertion failure and named daemon exit) via a query
  with a malformed RDATA section that is not properly handled during
  construction of a log message, as exploited in the wild in July 2013.
