CVE-2022-2906

An attacker can leverage this flaw to gradually erode available memory to the point where named crashes for lack of resources. Upon restart the attacker would have to begin again, but nevertheless there is the potential to deny service.

An attacker can leverage this flaw to gradually erode available memory to the point where named crashes for lack of resources. Upon restart the attacker would have to begin again, but nevertheless there is the potential to deny service.

BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS (Domain Name System) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named), which resolves host names to IP addresses; a resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating properly.

Security Fix(es):

By spoofing the target resolver with responses that have a malformed ECDSA signature, an attacker can trigger a small memory leak. It is possible to gradually erode available memory to the point where named crashes for lack of resources.(CVE-2022-38177)

By spoofing the target resolver with responses that have a malformed EdDSA signature, an attacker can trigger a small memory leak. It is possible to gradually erode available memory to the point where named crashes for lack of resources.(CVE-2022-38178)

By flooding the target resolver with queries exploiting this flaw an attacker can significantly impair the resolver's performance, effectively denying legitimate clients access to the DNS resolution service.(CVE-2022-2795)

The underlying bug might cause read past end of the buffer and either read memory it should not read, or crash the process.(CVE-2022-2881)

These are all security issues fixed in the bind-9.18.7-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Yehuda Afek, Anat Bremler-Barr, and Shani Stajnrod discovered that Bind incorrectly handled large delegations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to reduce performance, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-2795)

It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled statistics requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive memory contents, or cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-2881)

It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled memory when processing certain Diffie-Hellman key exchanges. A remote attacker could use this issue to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-2906)

Maksym Odinintsev discovered that Bind incorrectly handled answers from cache when configured with a zero stale-answer-timeout. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-3080)

It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled memory when processing ECDSA DNSSEC verification. A remote attacker could use this issue to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-38177)

It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled memory when processing EDDSA DNSSEC verification. A remote attacker could use this issue to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-38178)
