EulerOS Virtualization 2.10.1 : bind (EulerOS-SA-2024-1998)

high Nessus Plugin ID 202676

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

Certain DNSSEC aspects of the DNS protocol (in RFC 4033, 4034, 4035, 6840, and related RFCs) allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via one or more DNSSEC responses, aka the 'KeyTrap' issue. One of the concerns is that, when there is a zone with many DNSKEY and RRSIG records, the protocol specification implies that an algorithm must evaluate all combinations of DNSKEY and RRSIG records.(CVE-2023-50387)

The Closest Encloser Proof aspect of the DNS protocol (in RFC 5155 when RFC 9276 guidance is skipped) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption for SHA-1 computations) via DNSSEC responses in a random subdomain attack, aka the 'NSEC3' issue. The RFC 5155 specification implies that an algorithm must perform thousands of iterations of a hash function in certain situations.(CVE-2023-50868)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS Virtualization bind 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

Update the affected bind packages.
