ISC BIND 9 DNSSEC Cache Poisoning

low Nessus Plugin ID 42983
New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Synopsis

The remote name server is affected by a cache poisoning vulnerability.

Description

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.

Solution

Upgrade to BIND 9.4.3-P5 / 9.5.2-P2 / 9.6.1-P3 or later.
