CVE:                CVE-2015-8461
Document Version:   2.0
Posting date:       15 December 2015
Program Impacted:   BIND
Versions affected:  9.9.8 -> 9.9.8-P1, 9.9.8-S1 -> 9.9.8-S2, 9.10.3 ->
9.10.3-P1
Severity:           Medium
Exploitable:        Remotely

Description:

   Beginning with the September 2015 maintenance releases 9.9.8 and
   9.10.3, an error was introduced into BIND 9 which can cause a
   server to exit after encountering an INSIST assertion failure
   in resolver.c

Impact:

   An uncommonly occurring condition can cause affected servers to
   exit with an INSIST failure depending on the outcome of a race
   condition in resolver.c  While difficult to exploit reliably, a
   malicious party could, through deliberate behavior, significantly
   increase the probability of encountering the triggering condition,
   resulting in denial-of-service to clients if successful.

CVSS Score:         5.4
CVSS Vector:        (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C)

Workarounds:        None.
Active exploits:    None known.

Solution:

   Upgrade to the patched release most closely related to your
   current version of BIND. Public open-source branches can be
   downloaded from http://www.isc.org/downloads.

     BIND 9 version 9.9.8-P2
     BIND 9 version 9.10.3-P2




From http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/12/15/14:

CVE:                CVE-2015-8000
Document Version:   2.0
Posting date:       15 December 2015
Program Impacted:   BIND
Versions affected:  9.0.x -> 9.9.8, 9.10.0 -> 9.10.3
Severity:           Critical
Exploitable:        Remotely

Description:

   An error in the parsing of incoming responses allows some records
   with an incorrect class to be accepted by BIND instead of
   being rejected as malformed.  This can trigger a REQUIRE assertion
   failure when those records are subsequently cached. Intentional
   exploitation of this condition is possible and could be used as
   a denial-of-service vector against servers performing recursive
   queries.

Impact:

   An attacker who can cause a server to request a record with a
   malformed class attribute can use this bug to trigger a REQUIRE
   assertion in db.c, causing named to exit and denying service to
   clients.  The risk to recursive servers is high. Authoritative
   servers are at limited risk if they perform authentication when
   making recursive queries to resolve addresses for servers listed
   in NS RRSETs.

CVSS Score:         7.1

@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.
Comment 1 Christian Ruppert (idl0r) gentoo-dev 2015-12-27 19:43:18 UTC
net-dns/bind-9.10.3_p2 and net-dns/bind-tools-9.10.3_p2 have been added. Please stabilize both together, net-dns/bind and net-dns/bind-tools, if you'd like to stabilize the fixed version.
Comment 2 Yury German Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2015-12-31 07:40:28 UTC
Arches, please test and mark stable:

=net-dns/bind-9.10.3_p2
=net-dns/bind-tools-9.10.3_p2

Thank you!

That's why it's masked in profiles/base/use.stable.mask, so it doesn't matter.
