ALL BIND USERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY
This update addresses the following vulnerability:
CVE-2011-2464
=============
Severity: High
Exploitable: Remotely
Description:
A defect in the affected BIND 9 versions allows an attacker to remotely
cause the "named" process to exit using a specially crafted packet. This
defect affects both recursive and authoritative servers. The code location
of the defect makes it impossible to protect BIND using ACLs configured
within named.conf or by disabling any features at compile-time or run-time.

1. Very large RRSIG RRsets included in a negative cache can trigger
an assertion failure that will crash named (BIND 9 DNS) due to an
off-by-one error in a buffer size check.
This bug affects all resolving name servers, whether DNSSEC validation
is enabled or not, on all BIND versions prior to today. There is a
possibility of malicious exploitation of this bug by remote users.
2. Named could fail to validate zones listed in a DLV that validated
insecure without using DLV and had DS records in the parent zone.
Add a patch provided by ru@ and confirmed by ISC to fix a crash at
shutdown time when a SIG(0) key is being used.
All 9.6 users with DNSSEC validation enabled should upgrade to this
version, or the latest version in the 9.7 branch, prior to 2011-03-31
in order to avoid validation failures for names in .COM as described
here:
https://www.isc.org/announcement/bind-9-dnssec-validation-fails-new-ds-record
In addition the fixes for this and other bugs, there are also the
following:
* Various fixes to kerberos support, including GSS-TSIG
* Various fixes to avoid leaking memory, and to problems that could
prevent a clean shutdown of named
the problems related to the handling of broken DNSSEC trust chains.
This fix is only relevant for those who have DNSSEC validation
enabled and configure trust anchors from third parties, either
manually, or through a system like DLV.
security patches to the 9.6.1 version, as well as many other bug fixes.
This version also incorporates a different fix for the problem we had
patched in contrib/bind9/bin/dig/dighost.c, so that file is now back
to being the same as the vendor version.
Due to the fact that the DNSSEC algorithm that will be used to sign the
root zone is only included in this version and in 9.7.x those who wish
to do validation MUST upgrade to one of these prior to July 2010.
related to DNSSEC validation on a resolving name server that allows
access to untrusted users. If your system does not fall into all 3 of
these categories you do not need to update immediately.
This patch or something similar will likely be included in a future
BIND release.

Patch reviewed and tweaked by: ISC
Receipt of a specially-crafted dynamic update message may
cause BIND 9 servers to exit. This vulnerability affects all
servers -- it is not limited to those that are configured to
allow dynamic updates. Access controls will not provide an
effective workaround.

All BIND users are encouraged to update to a patched version ASAP.

"My suggestion is to remove the whole attribute construct.
It only suppresses a warning when a function is unused. In this case
the function is defined as inline, so it's not causing a warning when
not used."

Faster ACL processing.
Efficient LRU cache-cleaning mechanism.

This version will by default randomize the UDP query source port
(and sequence number of course) for every query.
In order to take advantage of this randomization users MUST have an
appropriate firewall configuration to allow UDP queries to be sent and
answers to be received on random ports; and users MUST NOT specify a
port number using the query-source[-v6] options.
The avoid-v[46]-udp-ports options exist for users who wish to eliminate
certain port numbers from being chosen by named for this purpose. See
the ARM Chatper 6 for more information.
Also please note, this issue applies only to UDP query ports. A random
ephemeral port is always chosen for TCP queries.
This issue applies primarily to name servers whose main purpose is to
resolve random queries (sometimes referred to as "caching" servers, or
more properly as "resolving" servers), although even an "authoritative"
name server will make some queries, primarily at startup time.
All users of BIND are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest
version, and to utilize the source port randomization feature.

The problem was, isc_atomic_cmpxchg() is almost like our
atomic_cmpset_32(), except it expects the old value to be
returned, whereas our atomic_cmpset_32 returns 1 on success,
or 0 on failure. So I re-implemented something suitable.

1. The default access control lists (acls) are not being
correctly set. If not set anyone can make recursive queries
and/or query the cache contents.

2. The DNS query id generation is vulnerable to cryptographic
analysis which provides a 1 in 8 chance of guessing the next
query id for 50% of the query ids. This can be used to perform
cache poisoning by an attacker.
This bug only affects outgoing queries, generated by BIND 9 to
answer questions as a resolver, or when it is looking up data
for internal uses, such as when sending NOTIFYs to slave name
servers.
All users are encouraged to upgrade.

Description:
Because of OpenSSL's recently announced vulnerabilities
(CAN-2006-4339, CVE-2006-2937 and CVE-2006-2940) which affect named,
we are announcing this workaround and releasing patches. A proof of
concept attack on OpenSSL has been demonstrated for CAN-2006-4339.
OpenSSL is required to use DNSSEC with BIND.
Fix for version 9.3.2-P1 and lower:
Upgrade to BIND 9.3.2-P2, then generate new RSASHA1 and
RSAMD5 keys for all old keys using the old default exponent
and perform a key rollover to these new keys.
These versions also change the default RSA exponent to be
65537 which is not vulnerable to the attacks described in
CAN-2006-4339.
part of the structure was a hack to maintain binary compatibility with
Sun binaries, and my understanding is that it's not needed generally
on sparc systems running other operating systems. Therefore, hide this
code behind the same set of tests as in lib/bind/include/netdb.h.
This file is being imported on the vendor branch because a similar change
(or change with similar effect) will be in the next version of BIND 9.
This change will not affect other platforms in any way.
researched by glebius, and incorporated by ISC into the next
version of BIND. Unfortunately, it looks like their release
will come after the release of FreeBSD 6, so we will bring
this in now.
The patch addresses a problem with high-load resolvers which
hit memory barriers. Without this patch, running the resolving
name server out of memory would lead to "unpredictable results."
Of course, the canonical answer to this problem is to put more
memory into the system, however that is not always possible, and
the code should be able to handle this situation gracefully in
any case.
