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

  - In BIND 9.8.5 -> 9.8.8, 9.9.3 -> 9.11.29, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.13, and versions BIND 9.9.3-S1 -> 9.11.29-S1 and     9.16.8-S1 -> 9.16.13-S1 of BIND 9 Supported Preview Edition, as well as release versions 9.17.0 -> 9.17.11     of the BIND 9.17 development branch, when a vulnerable version of named receives a malformed IXFR     triggering the flaw described above, the named process will terminate due to a failed assertion the next     time the transferred secondary zone is refreshed. (CVE-2021-25214)

  - In BIND 9.0.0 -> 9.11.29, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.13, and versions BIND 9.9.3-S1 -> 9.11.29-S1 and 9.16.8-S1 ->     9.16.13-S1 of BIND Supported Preview Edition, as well as release versions 9.17.0 -> 9.17.11 of the BIND     9.17 development branch, when a vulnerable version of named receives a query for a record triggering the     flaw described above, the named process will terminate due to a failed assertion check. The vulnerability     affects all currently maintained BIND 9 branches (9.11, 9.11-S, 9.16, 9.16-S, 9.17) as well as all other     versions of BIND 9. (CVE-2021-25215)

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.

The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALSA-2021:4384 advisory.

  - In BIND 9.8.5 -> 9.8.8, 9.9.3 -> 9.11.29, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.13, and versions BIND 9.9.3-S1 -> 9.11.29-S1 and     9.16.8-S1 -> 9.16.13-S1 of BIND 9 Supported Preview Edition, as well as release versions 9.17.0 -> 9.17.11     of the BIND 9.17 development branch, when a vulnerable version of named receives a malformed IXFR     triggering the flaw described above, the named process will terminate due to a failed assertion the next     time the transferred secondary zone is refreshed. (CVE-2021-25214)

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has bind packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - In BIND 9.8.5 -> 9.8.8, 9.9.3 -> 9.11.29, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.13, and versions BIND 9.9.3-S1 -> 9.11.29-S1 and     9.16.8-S1 -> 9.16.13-S1 of BIND 9 Supported Preview Edition, as well as release versions 9.17.0 -> 9.17.11     of the BIND 9.17 development branch, when a vulnerable version of named receives a malformed IXFR     triggering the flaw described above, the named process will terminate due to a failed assertion the next     time the transferred secondary zone is refreshed. (CVE-2021-25214)

  - In BIND 9.3.0 -> 9.11.35, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.21, and versions 9.9.3-S1 -> 9.11.35-S1 and 9.16.8-S1 ->     9.16.21-S1 of BIND Supported Preview Edition, as well as release versions 9.17.0 -> 9.17.18 of the BIND     9.17 development branch, exploitation of broken authoritative servers using a flaw in response processing     can cause degradation in BIND resolver performance. The way the lame cache is currently designed makes it     possible for its internal data structures to grow almost infinitely, which may cause significant delays in     client query processing. (CVE-2021-25219)

  - By spoofing the target resolver with responses that have a malformed ECDSA signature, an attacker can     trigger a small memory leak. It is possible to gradually erode available memory to the point where named     crashes for lack of resources. (CVE-2022-38177)

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

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.0.1.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.0.1.6 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the Routing decision classifier in the Linux kernel's Traffic Control networking     subsystem in the way it handled changing of classification filters, leading to a use-after-free condition.
    This flaw allows unprivileged local users to escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3715)

  - Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.6, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.46 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.66 did not correctly parse the HTTP     transfer-encoding request header in some circumstances leading to the possibility to request smuggling     when used with a reverse proxy. Specifically: - Tomcat incorrectly ignored the transfer encoding header if     the client declared it would only accept an HTTP/1.0 response; - Tomcat honoured the identify encoding;
    and - Tomcat did not ensure that, if present, the chunked encoding was the final encoding.
    (CVE-2021-33037)

  - A flaw was found in the way RTAS handled memory accesses in userspace to kernel communication. On a locked     down (usually due to Secure Boot) guest system running on top of PowerVM or KVM hypervisors (pseries     platform) a root like local user could use this flaw to further increase their privileges to that of a     running kernel. (CVE-2020-27777)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write affecting Linux since v2.6.19-rc1 was discovered in net/netfilter/x_tables.c.
    This allows an attacker to gain privileges or cause a DoS (via heap memory corruption) through user name     space (CVE-2021-22555)

  - BPF JIT compilers in the Linux kernel through 5.11.12 have incorrect computation of branch displacements,     allowing them to execute arbitrary code within the kernel context. This affects     arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c and arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp32.c. (CVE-2021-29154)

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

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.20.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.20.2 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the Routing decision classifier in the Linux kernel's Traffic Control networking     subsystem in the way it handled changing of classification filters, leading to a use-after-free condition.

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.20.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.20.3 advisory.

  - xpointer.c in libxml2 before 2.9.5 (as used in Apple iOS before 10, OS X before 10.12, tvOS before 10, and     watchOS before 3, and other products) does not forbid namespace nodes in XPointer ranges, which allows     remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory     corruption) via a crafted XML document. (CVE-2016-4658)

  - NSS (Network Security Services) versions prior to 3.73 or 3.68.1 ESR are vulnerable to a heap overflow     when handling DER-encoded DSA or RSA-PSS signatures. Applications using NSS for handling signatures     encoded within CMS, S/MIME, PKCS \#7, or PKCS \#12 are likely to be impacted. Applications using NSS for     certificate validation or other TLS, X.509, OCSP or CRL functionality may be impacted, depending on how     they configure NSS. *Note: This vulnerability does NOT impact Mozilla Firefox.* However, email clients and     PDF viewers that use NSS for signature verification, such as Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Evolution and     Evince are believed to be impacted. This vulnerability affects NSS < 3.73 and NSS < 3.68.1.
    (CVE-2021-43527)

New bind packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and
-current to fix security issues.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in BIND, a DNS server implementation.

  - CVE-2021-25214     Greg Kuechle discovered that a malformed incoming IXFR     transfer could trigger an assertion failure in named,     resulting in denial of service.

  - CVE-2021-25215     Siva Kakarla discovered that named could crash when a     DNAME record placed in the ANSWER section during DNAME     chasing turned out to be the final answer to a client     query.

  - CVE-2021-25216     It was discovered that the SPNEGO implementation used by     BIND is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability. This     update switches to use the SPNEGO implementation from     the Kerberos libraries.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:14714-1 advisory.

  - In BIND 9.8.5 -> 9.8.8, 9.9.3 -> 9.11.29, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.13, and versions BIND 9.9.3-S1 -> 9.11.29-S1 and     9.16.8-S1 -> 9.16.13-S1 of BIND 9 Supported Preview Edition, as well as release versions 9.17.0 -> 9.17.11     of the BIND 9.17 development branch, when a vulnerable version of named receives a malformed IXFR     triggering the flaw described above, the named process will terminate due to a failed assertion the next     time the transferred secondary zone is refreshed. (CVE-2021-25214)

  - In BIND 9.0.0 -> 9.11.29, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.13, and versions BIND 9.9.3-S1 -> 9.11.29-S1 and 9.16.8-S1 ->     9.16.13-S1 of BIND Supported Preview Edition, as well as release versions 9.17.0 -> 9.17.11 of the BIND     9.17 development branch, when a vulnerable version of named receives a query for a record triggering the     flaw described above, the named process will terminate due to a failed assertion check. The vulnerability     affects all currently maintained BIND 9 branches (9.11, 9.11-S, 9.16, 9.16-S, 9.17) as well as all other     versions of BIND 9. (CVE-2021-25215)

  - In BIND 9.5.0 -> 9.11.29, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.13, and versions BIND 9.11.3-S1 -> 9.11.29-S1 and 9.16.8-S1 ->     9.16.13-S1 of BIND Supported Preview Edition, as well as release versions 9.17.0 -> 9.17.1 of the BIND     9.17 development branch, 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 values for the     tkey-gssapi-keytab or tkey-gssapi-credential configuration 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. For servers     that meet these conditions, the ISC SPNEGO implementation is vulnerable to various attacks, depending on     the CPU architecture for which BIND was built: For named binaries compiled for 64-bit platforms, this flaw     can be used to trigger a buffer over-read, leading to a server crash. For named binaries compiled for     32-bit platforms, this flaw can be used to trigger a server crash due to a buffer overflow and possibly     also to achieve remote code execution. We have determined that standard SPNEGO implementations are     available in the MIT and Heimdal Kerberos libraries, which support a broad range of operating systems,     rendering the ISC implementation unnecessary and obsolete. Therefore, to reduce the attack surface for     BIND users, we will be removing the ISC SPNEGO implementation in the April releases of BIND 9.11 and 9.16     (it had already been dropped from BIND 9.17). We would not normally remove something from a stable ESV     (Extended Support Version) of BIND, but since system libraries can replace the ISC SPNEGO implementation,     we have made an exception in this case for reasons of stability and security. (CVE-2021-25216)
