 Package : maradns Version : 2.0.13-1.2+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2022-30256 CVE-2023-31137 Debian Bug : 1033252 1035936

 MaraDNS is a small and lightweight cross-platform open-source DNS server.

 CVE-2022-30256

 A revoked domain name (so called Ghost domain name) can still be resolvable for a long time by staying in the cache longer than max_ttl allows. Ghost domain names includes expired domains and taken-down malicious domains.

 CVE-2023-31137

 The authoritative server in MaraDNS had an issue where it is possible to remotely terminate the MaraDNS process with a specialy crafted packet (so called packet of death).

 For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.13-1.2+deb10u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your maradns packages.

 For the detailed security status of maradns please refer to its security tracker page at:

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

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

Solution

Upgrade the duende packages.
