ISC BIND 9.0.x through 9.3.x, 9.4 before 9.4.3-P5, 9.5 before 9.5.2-P2, 9.6 before 9.6.1-P3, and 9.7.0 beta handles out-of-bailiwick data accompanying a secure response without re-fetching from the original source, which allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a crafted response, aka Bug 20819. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a regression during the fix for CVE-2009-4022.

The remote VMware ESX / ESXi host is missing a security-related patch.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including remote code execution vulnerabilities, in several components and third-party libraries :

  - libpng
  - VMnc Codec
  - vmrun
  - VMware Remote Console (VMrc)
  - VMware Tools
  - vmware-authd

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2010:0062 :

Updated bind packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named); a resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly.

A flaw was found in the BIND DNSSEC NSEC/NSEC3 validation code. If BIND was running as a DNSSEC-validating resolver, it could incorrectly cache NXDOMAIN responses, as if they were valid, for records proven by NSEC or NSEC3 to exist. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a BIND server to return the bogus, cached NXDOMAIN responses for valid records and prevent users from retrieving those records (denial of service). (CVE-2010-0097)

The original fix for CVE-2009-4022 was found to be incomplete. BIND was incorrectly caching certain responses without performing proper DNSSEC validation. CNAME and DNAME records could be cached, without proper DNSSEC validation, when received from processing recursive client queries that requested DNSSEC records but indicated that checking should be disabled. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass the DNSSEC validation check and perform a cache poisoning attack if the target BIND server was receiving such client queries.
(CVE-2010-0290)

All BIND users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve these issues. After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted automatically.

An as-yet unidentified network event caused BIND 9 resolvers to cache an invalid record, subsequent queries for which could crash the resolvers with an assertion failure.

Furthermore, AIX BIND 9.4.1 is affected by the following three security vulnerabilities: CVE-2010-0382 - ISC BIND Out-Of-Bailwick Data Handling Error CVE-2010-0097 - ISC BIND Improper DNSSEC NSEC and NSEC3 Record CVE-2009-0025 - BIND OpenSSL DSA_do_verify and EVP_VerifyFinal.

Several cache-poisoning vulnerabilities have been discovered in BIND.
These vulnerabilities apply only if DNSSEC validation is enabled and trust anchors have been installed, which is not the default.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2010-0097     BIND does not properly validate DNSSEC NSEC records,     which allows remote attackers to add the Authenticated     Data (AD) flag to a forged NXDOMAIN response for an     existing domain.

  - CVE-2010-0290     When processing crafted responses containing CNAME or     DNAME records, BIND is subject to a DNS cache poisoning     vulnerability, provided that DNSSEC validation is     enabled and trust anchors have been installed.

  - CVE-2010-0382     When processing certain responses containing     out-of-bailiwick data, BIND is subject to a DNS cache     poisoning vulnerability, provided that DNSSEC validation     is enabled and trust anchors have been installed.

In addition, this update introduce a more conservative query behavior in the presence of repeated DNSSEC validation failures, addressing the 'roll over and die' phenomenon. The new version also supports the cryptographic algorithm used by the upcoming signed ICANN DNS root (RSASHA256 from RFC 5702), and the NSEC3 secure denial of existence algorithm used by some signed top-level domains.

This update is based on a new upstream version of BIND 9, 9.6-ESV-R1.
Because of the scope of changes, extra care is recommended when installing the update. Due to ABI changes, new Debian packages are included, and the update has to be installed using 'apt-get dist-upgrade' (or an equivalent aptitude command).

s700_800 11.23 BIND 9.2.0 Revision 5.0 : 

The remote HP-UX host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A potential security vulnerability has been identified     with HP-UX running BIND. The vulnerability could be     exploited remotely to create a Denial of Service (DoS)     and permit unauthorized disclosure of information.
    (HPSBUX02546 SSRT100159)

  - A potential security vulnerability has been identified     with HP-UX running BIND. The vulnerability could be     exploited remotely to create a Denial of Service (DoS).
    (HPSBUX02451 SSRT090137)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201006-11 (BIND: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple cache poisoning vulnerabilities were discovered in BIND. For     further information please consult the CVE entries and the ISC Security     Bulletin referenced below.
    Note: CVE-2010-0290 and CVE-2010-0382 exist because of an incomplete     fix and a regression for CVE-2009-4022.
  Impact :

    An attacker could exploit this weakness to poison the cache of a     recursive resolver and thus spoof DNS traffic, which could e.g. lead to     the redirection of web or mail traffic to malicious sites.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

a. Service Console update for COS kernel

   Updated COS package 'kernel' addresses the security issues that are    fixed through versions 2.6.18-164.11.1.

b. ESXi userworld update for ntp

   The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of    a computer client or server to another server or reference time    source.

   A vulnerability in ntpd could allow a remote attacker to cause a    denial of service (CPU and bandwidth consumption) by using    MODE_PRIVATE to send a spoofed (1) request or (2) response packet    that triggers a continuous exchange of MODE_PRIVATE error responses    between two NTP daemons.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2009-3563 to this issue.

c. Service Console package openssl updated to 0.9.8e-12.el5_4.1

   OpenSSL is a toolkit implementing SSL v2/v3 and TLS protocols with    full-strength cryptography world-wide.

   A memory leak in the zlib could allow a remote attacker to cause a    denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors that trigger    incorrect calls to the CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data function.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2009-4355 to this issue.

   A vulnerability was discovered which may allow remote attackers to    spoof certificates by using MD2 design flaws to generate a hash    collision in less than brute-force time. NOTE: the scope of this    issue is currently limited because the amount of computation    required is still large.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2009-2409 to this issue.

   This update also includes security fixes that were first addressed    in version openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5.i386.rpm.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the names CVE-2009-0590, CVE-2009-1377, CVE-2009-1378,    CVE-2009-1379, CVE-2009-1386 and CVE-2009-1387 to these issues.

d. Service Console update for krb5 to 1.6.1-36.el5_4.1 and pam_krb5 to    2.2.14-15.

   Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. It is designed to    provide strong authentication for client/server applications by    using secret-key cryptography.

   Multiple integer underflows in the AES and RC4 functionality in the    crypto library could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of    service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by    providing ciphertext with a length that is too short to be valid.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2009-4212 to this issue.

   The service console package for pam_krb5 is updated to version    pam_krb5-2.2.14-15. This update fixes a flaw found in pam_krb5. In    some non-default configurations (specifically, where pam_krb5 would    be the first module to prompt for a password), a remote attacker    could use this flaw to recognize valid usernames, which would aid a    dictionary-based password guess attack.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2009-1384 to this issue.

e. Service Console package bind updated to 9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2

   BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Daemon) is by far the most widely used    Domain Name System (DNS) software on the Internet.

   A vulnerability was discovered which could allow remote attacker to    add the Authenticated Data (AD) flag to a forged NXDOMAIN response    for an existing domain.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2010-0097 to this issue.

   A vulnerability was discovered which could allow remote attackers    to conduct DNS cache poisoning attacks by receiving a recursive    client query and sending a response that contains CNAME or DNAME    records, which do not have the intended validation before caching.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2010-0290 to this issue.

   A vulnerability was found in the way that bind handles out-of-    bailiwick data accompanying a secure response without re-fetching    from the original source, which could allow remote attackers to    have an unspecified impact via a crafted response.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2010-0382 to this issue.

   NOTE: ESX does not use the BIND name service daemon by default.

f. Service Console package gcc updated to 3.2.3-60

   The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++,    Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada, as well as libraries for these    languages

   GNU Libtool's ltdl.c attempts to open .la library files in the    current working directory.  This could allow a local user to gain    privileges via a Trojan horse file.  The GNU C Compiler collection    (gcc) provided in ESX contains a statically linked version of the    vulnerable code, and is being replaced.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2009-3736 to this issue.

g. Service Console package gzip update to 1.3.3-15.rhel3

   gzip is a software application used for file compression

   An integer underflow in gzip's unlzw function on 64-bit platforms    may allow a remote attacker to trigger an array index error    leading to a denial of service (application crash) or possibly    execute arbitrary code via a crafted LZW compressed file.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2010-0001 to this issue.

h. Service Console package sudo updated to 1.6.9p17-6.el5_4

   Sudo (su 'do') allows a system administrator to delegate authority    to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some    (or all) commands as root or another user while providing an audit    trail of the commands and their arguments.

   When a pseudo-command is enabled, sudo permits a match between the    name of the pseudo-command and the name of an executable file in an    arbitrary directory, which allows local users to gain privileges    via a crafted executable file.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2010-0426 to this issue.

   When the runas_default option is used, sudo does not properly set    group memberships, which allows local users to gain privileges via    a sudo command.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2010-0427 to this issue.

Updated bind packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in bind :

The original fix for CVE-2009-4022 was found to be incomplete. BIND was incorrectly caching certain responses without performing proper DNSSEC validation. CNAME and DNAME records could be cached, without proper DNSSEC validation, when received from processing recursive client queries that requested DNSSEC records but indicated that checking should be disabled. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass the DNSSEC validation check and perform a cache poisoning attack if the target BIND server was receiving such client queries (CVE-2010-0290).

There was an error in the DNSSEC NSEC/NSEC3 validation code that could cause bogus NXDOMAIN responses (that is, NXDOMAIN responses for records proven by NSEC or NSEC3 to exist) to be cached as if they had validated correctly, so that future queries to the resolver would return the bogus NXDOMAIN with the AD flag set (CVE-2010-0097).

ISC BIND 9.0.x through 9.3.x, 9.4 before 9.4.3-P5, 9.5 before 9.5.2-P2, 9.6 before 9.6.1-P3, and 9.7.0 beta handles out-of-bailiwick data accompanying a secure response without re-fetching from the original source, which allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a crafted response, aka Bug 20819. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a regression during the fix for CVE-2009-4022 (CVE-2010-0382).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers.

Additionally BIND has been upgraded to the latest patch release version.

According to its version number, the remote installation of BIND suffers from a cache poisoning vulnerability. This issue affects all versions prior to 9.4.3-P5, 9.5.2-P2 or 9.6.1-P3.

Note that only nameservers that allow recursive queries and validate DNSSEC records are affected. Nessus has not attempted to verify if this configuration applies to the remote service, though, so this could be a false positive.
