CVE-2018-5736: Multiple transfers of a zone in quick succession can cause an assertion failure in rbtdb.c CVE: CVE-2018-5736 Document Version: 2.0 Posting date: 18 May 2018 Program Impacted: BIND Versions affected: 9.12.0 and 9.12.1 Severity: Medium Exploitable: Remotely, if an attacker can trigger a zone transfer Description: An error in zone database reference counting can lead to an assertion failure if a server which is running an affected version of BIND attempts several transfers of a slave zone in quick succession. This defect could be deliberately exercised by an attacker who is permitted to cause a vulnerable server to initiate zone transfers (for example: by sending valid NOTIFY messages), causing the named process to exit after failing the assertion test. Impact: Authoritative servers that serve slave zones are vulnerable to potential denial of service if all of the following are true: they are running an affected version of BIND (BIND 9.12.0 or 9.12.1) at least one of the zones for which they are providing service is of type "slave" they permit NOTIFY messages from any source. CVSS Score: 5.3 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H For more information on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System and to obtain your specific environmental score please visit: https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/3.0#CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H Workarounds: For servers which must receive notifies to keep slave zone contents current, no complete workarounds are known although restricting BIND to only accept NOTIFY messages from authorized sources can greatly mitigate the risk of attack. Active exploits: No known active exploits. Solution: The reference counting error which can be exploited in this vulnerability is present in only two public release versions of BIND, 9.12.0 and 9.12.1. If you are running an affected version then upgrade to BIND 9.12.1-P1 Acknowledgements: ISC would like to thank SWITCH for informing us of this vulnerability.
