MaraDNS < 2.0.13 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 86674

Synopsis

The DNS server running on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the MaraDNS server running on the remote host is prior to 2.0.13. It is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A flaw exists in mararc parser due to a buffer underflow condition in the file ParseMaraRc.c. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to read from disallowed memory locations.

- A flaw exists in the Deadwood recursive resolver component due to a buffer underflow condition that can allow an out-of-bounds memory location to be overwritten by the output of malloc(). An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to cause a denial of service.

Solution

Upgrade to MaraDNS version 2.0.13 or later
