An update of the bindutils package has been released.

ISC reports :

The asterisk character ('*') is allowed in DNS zone files, where it is most commonly present as a wildcard at a terminal node of the Domain Name System graph. However, the RFCs do not require and BIND does not enforce that an asterisk character be present only at a terminal node.

A problem can occur when an asterisk is present in an empty non-terminal location within the DNS graph. If such a node exists, after a series of queries, named can reach an inconsistent state that results in the failure of an assertion check in rbtdb.c, followed by the program exiting due to the assertion failure.

The version of ISC BIND installed on the remote host is affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in   rbtdb.c due to an assertion failure. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, to cause a DoS   condition. 

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

According to the versions of the bind packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw was found in bind when an asterisk character is     present in an empty non-terminal location within the     DNS graph. This flaw could trigger an assertion     failure, causing bind to crash. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to system     availability.(CVE-2020-8619)

  - BIND servers are vulnerable if they are running an     affected version and are configured to use GSS-TSIG     features. In a configuration which uses BIND's default     settings the vulnerable code path is not exposed, but a     server can be rendered vulnerable by explicitly setting     valid values for the tkey-gssapi-keytab or     tkey-gssapi-credentialconfiguration options. Although     the default configuration is not vulnerable, GSS-TSIG     is frequently used in networks where BIND is integrated     with Samba, as well as in mixed-server environments     that combine BIND servers with Active Directory domain     controllers. The most likely outcome of a successful     exploitation of the vulnerability is a crash of the     named process. However, remote code execution, while     unproven, is theoretically possible. Affects: BIND     9.5.0 -> 9.11.27, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.11, and versions BIND     9.11.3-S1 -> 9.11.27-S1 and 9.16.8-S1 -> 9.16.11-S1 of     BIND Supported Preview Edition. Also release versions     9.17.0 -> 9.17.1 of the BIND 9.17 development     branch(CVE-2020-8625)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

According to the versions of the bind packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - In BIND 9.10.0 -> 9.11.21, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.5, 9.17.0 ->     9.17.3, also affects 9.10.5-S1 -> 9.11.21-S1 of the     BIND 9 Supported Preview Edition, An attacker that can     reach a vulnerable system with a specially crafted     query packet can trigger a crash. To be vulnerable, the     system must: * be running BIND that was built with     '--enable-native-pkcs11' * be signing one or more zones     with an RSA key * be able to receive queries from a     possible attacker(CVE-2020-8623)

(CVE-2020-8619)

  - In BIND 9.0.0 -> 9.11.21, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.5, 9.17.0 -> 9.17.3, also affects 9.9.3-S1 -> 9.11.21-S1 of the     BIND 9 Supported Preview Edition, An attacker on the network path for a TSIG-signed request, or operating     the server receiving the TSIG-signed request, could send a truncated response to that request, triggering     an assertion failure, causing the server to exit. Alternately, an off-path attacker would have to     correctly guess when a TSIG-signed request was sent, along with other characteristics of the packet and     message, and spoof a truncated response to trigger an assertion failure, causing the server to exit.
    (CVE-2020-8622)

  - In BIND 9.10.0 -> 9.11.21, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.5, 9.17.0 -> 9.17.3, also affects 9.10.5-S1 -> 9.11.21-S1 of the     BIND 9 Supported Preview Edition, An attacker that can reach a vulnerable system with a specially crafted     query packet can trigger a crash.

This update for bind fixes the following issues :

BIND was upgraded to version 9.16.6 :

Note :

  - bind is now more strict in regards to DNSSEC. If queries     are not working, check for DNSSEC issues. For instance,     if bind is used in a namserver forwarder chain, the     forwarding DNS servers must support DNSSEC.

Fixing security issues :

  - CVE-2020-8616: Further limit the number of queries that     can be triggered from a request. Root and TLD servers     are no longer exempt from max-recursion-queries. Fetches     for missing name server. (bsc#1171740) Address records     are limited to 4 for any domain.

  - CVE-2020-8617: Replaying a TSIG BADTIME response as a     request could trigger an assertion failure.
    (bsc#1171740)

  - CVE-2019-6477: Fixed an issue where TCP-pipelined     queries could bypass the tcp-clients limit     (bsc#1157051).

  - CVE-2018-5741: Fixed the documentation (bsc#1109160).

  - CVE-2020-8618: It was possible to trigger an INSIST when     determining whether a record would fit into a TCP     message buffer (bsc#1172958).

  - CVE-2020-8619: It was possible to trigger an INSIST in     lib/dns/rbtdb.c:new_reference() with a particular zone     content and query patterns (bsc#1172958).

  - CVE-2020-8624: 'update-policy' rules of type 'subdomain'     were incorrectly treated as 'zonesub' rules, which     allowed keys used in 'subdomain' rules to update names     outside of the specified subdomains. The problem was     fixed by making sure 'subdomain' rules are again     processed as described in the ARM (bsc#1175443).

  - CVE-2020-8623: When BIND 9 was compiled with native     PKCS#11 support, it was possible to trigger an assertion     failure in code determining the number of bits in the     PKCS#11 RSA public key with a specially crafted packet     (bsc#1175443).

  - CVE-2020-8621: named could crash in certain query     resolution scenarios where QNAME minimization and     forwarding were both enabled (bsc#1175443).

  - CVE-2020-8620: It was possible to trigger an assertion     failure by sending a specially crafted large TCP DNS     message (bsc#1175443).

  - CVE-2020-8622: It was possible to trigger an assertion     failure when verifying the response to a TSIG-signed     request (bsc#1175443).

Other issues fixed :

  - Add engine support to OpenSSL EdDSA implementation.

  - Add engine support to OpenSSL ECDSA implementation.

  - Update PKCS#11 EdDSA implementation to PKCS#11 v3.0.

  - Warn about AXFR streams with inconsistent message IDs.

  - Make ISC rwlock implementation the default again.

  - Fixed issues when using cookie-secrets for AES and SHA2     (bsc#1161168)

  - Installed the default files in /var/lib/named and     created chroot environment on systems using     transactional-updates (bsc#1100369, fate#325524)

  - Fixed an issue where bind was not working in FIPS mode     (bsc#906079).

  - Fixed dependency issues (bsc#1118367 and bsc#1118368).

  - GeoIP support is now discontinued, now GeoIP2 is     used(bsc#1156205).

  - Fixed an issue with FIPS (bsc#1128220).

  - The liblwres library is discontinued upstream and is no     longer included.

  - Added service dependency on NTP to make sure the clock     is accurate when bind is starts (bsc#1170667,     bsc#1170713).

  - Reject DS records at the zone apex when loading master     files. Log but otherwise ignore attempts to add DS     records at the zone apex via UPDATE.

  - The default value of 'max-stale-ttl' has been changed     from 1 week to 12 hours.

  - Zone timers are now exported via statistics channel.

  - The 'primary' and 'secondary' keywords, when used as     parameters for 'check-names', were not processed     correctly and were being ignored.

  - 'rndc dnstap -roll <value>' did not limit the number of     saved files to <value>.

  - Add 'rndc dnssec -status' command.

  - Addressed a couple of situations where named could     crash.

  - Changed /var/lib/named to owner root:named and perms     rwxrwxr-t so that named, being a/the only member of the     'named' group has full r/w access yet cannot change     directories owned by root in the case of a compromized     named. [bsc#1173307, bind-chrootenv.conf]

  - Added '/etc/bind.keys' to NAMED_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES in     /etc/sysconfig/named to suppress warning message re     missing file (bsc#1173983).

  - Removed '-r /dev/urandom' from all invocations of     rndc-confgen (init/named system/lwresd.init     system/named.init in vendor-files) as this option is     deprecated and causes rndc-confgen to fail.
    (bsc#1173311, bsc#1176674, bsc#1170713)

  - /usr/bin/genDDNSkey: Removing the use of the -r option     in the call of /usr/sbin/dnssec-keygen as BIND now uses     the random number functions provided by the crypto     library (i.e., OpenSSL or a PKCS#11 provider) as a     source of randomness rather than /dev/random. Therefore     the -r command line option no longer has any effect on     dnssec-keygen. Leaving the option in genDDNSkey as to     not break compatibility. Patch provided by Stefan     Eisenwiener. [bsc#1171313]

  - Put libns into a separate subpackage to avoid file     conflicts in the libisc subpackage due to different     sonums (bsc#1176092).

  - Require /sbin/start_daemon: both init scripts, the one     used in systemd context as well as legacy sysv, make use     of start_daemon.
