CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: bind (CVE-2023-5679)

high Nessus Plugin ID 201615

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of bind installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-5679 advisory.

 - A bad interaction between DNS64 and serve-stale May cause `named` to crash with an assertion failure during recursive resolution, when both of these features are enabled. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.16.12 through 9.16.45, 9.18.0 through 9.18.21, 9.19.0 through 9.19.19, 9.16.12-S1 through 9.16.45-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.21-S1. (CVE-2023-5679)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
