NewStart CGSL MAIN 6.06 : bind Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2026-0057)
high Nessus Plugin ID 330502
Synopsis
The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has bind packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:- There is a logic error in io_uring's implementation which can be used to trigger a use-after-free vulnerability leading to privilege escalation. In the io_prep_async_work function the assumption that the last io_grab_identity call cannot return false is not true, and in this case the function will use the init_cred or the previous linked requests identity to do operations instead of using the current identity.
This can lead to reference counting issues causing use-after-free. We recommend upgrading past version 5.10.161. (CVE-2023-0240)
- Resolver caches and authoritative zone databases that hold significant numbers of RRs for the same hostname (of any RTYPE) can suffer from degraded performance as content is being added or updated, and also when handling client queries for this name. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.11.37, 9.16.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.27, 9.19.0 through 9.19.24, 9.11.4-S1 through 9.11.37-S1, 9.16.8-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.27-S1. (CVE-2024-1737)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
