CVE-2023-7008

A vulnerability was found in systemd-resolved. This issue may allow systemd-resolved to accept records of DNSSEC-signed domains even when they have no signature, allowing man-in-the-middles (or the upstream DNS resolver) to manipulate records.

The systemd packages contain systemd, a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with the SysV and LSB init scripts. It provides aggressive parallelism capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, and keeps track of processes using Linux cgroups. In addition, it supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state, maintains mount and automount points, and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can also work as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit.

Security Fix(es):

• systemd-resolved: Unsigned name response in signed zone is not refused when DNSSEC=yes (CVE-2023-7008)

• CVE-2023-7008: prevent systemd-resolved from accepting DNS records of DNSSEC- signed domains without a signature to mitigate man-in-the-middle attacks

These are all security issues fixed in the libsystemd0-254.8-4.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

This update for systemd fixes the following issues:

• CVE-2023-7008: Fixed man-in-the-middle due to unsigned name response in signed zone not refused when DNSSEC=yes (bsc#1218297)

Other fixes:

• Unit: drop ProtectClock=yes from systemd-udevd.service (bsc#1226414)
• Don't mention any rpm macros inside comments, even if escaped (bsc#1228091)
• Skip redundant dependencies specified the LSB description that references the file name of the service itself for early boot scripts (bsc#1221479).

It was discovered that systemd-nspawn incorrectly handled certain optional configuration files. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to escape to the host system and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-40226)

It was discovered that systemd-resolved incorrectly validated DNSSEC records for signed domains. An attacker could possibly use this issue to manipulate DNS records. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-7008)
