NewStart CGSL CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05 : unbound Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2021-0142)

high Nessus Plugin ID 154518

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has unbound packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- An incomplete fix for CVE-2020-12662 was shipped for Unbound in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, as part of erratum RHSA-2020:2414. Vulnerable versions of Unbound could still amplify an incoming query into a large number of queries directed to a target, even with a lower amplification ratio compared to versions of Unbound that shipped before the mentioned erratum. This issue is about the incomplete fix for CVE-2020-12662, and it does not affect upstream versions of Unbound. (CVE-2020-10772)

- Unbound before 1.10.1 has Insufficient Control of Network Message Volume, aka an NXNSAttack issue. This is triggered by random subdomains in the NSDNAME in NS records. (CVE-2020-12662)

- Unbound before 1.10.1 has an infinite loop via malformed DNS answers received from upstream servers.
(CVE-2020-12663)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL unbound packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
