The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has bind packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A flaw was found in the way BIND handled TSIG     authentication for dynamic updates. A remote attacker     able to communicate with an authoritative BIND server     could use this flaw to manipulate the contents of a     zone, by forging a valid TSIG or SIG(0) signature for a     dynamic update request. (CVE-2017-3143)

  - A flaw was found in the way BIND handled TSIG     authentication of AXFR requests. A remote attacker, able     to communicate with an authoritative BIND server, could     use this flaw to view the entire contents of a zone by     sending a specially constructed request packet.
    (CVE-2017-3142)

  - A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND     handled DNSSEC validation. A remote attacker could use     this flaw to make named exit unexpectedly with an     assertion failure via a specially crafted DNS response.
    (CVE-2017-3139)

  - A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND     handled a query response containing CNAME or DNAME     resource records in an unusual order. A remote attacker     could use this flaw to make named exit unexpectedly with     an assertion failure via a specially crafted DNS     response. (CVE-2017-3137)

  - It was found that the lightweight resolver protocol     implementation in BIND could enter an infinite recursion     and crash when asked to resolve a query name which, when     combined with a search list entry, exceeds the maximum     allowable length. A remote attacker could use this flaw     to crash lwresd or named when using the lwres     statement in named.conf. (CVE-2016-2775)

  - A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND     handled query requests when using DNS64 with break-     dnssec yes option. A remote attacker could use this     flaw to make named exit unexpectedly with an assertion     failure via a specially crafted DNS request.
    (CVE-2017-3136)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - bind: Improper fetch cleanup sequencing in the resolver can cause named to crash (CVE-2017-3145)

  - ISC BIND 9.x before 9.9.9-P2, 9.10.x before 9.10.4-P2, and 9.11.x before 9.11.0b2, when lwresd or the     named lwres option is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a     long request that uses the lightweight resolver protocol. (CVE-2016-2775)

  - ISC BIND through 9.9.9-P1, 9.10.x through 9.10.4-P1, and 9.11.x through 9.11.0b1 allows primary DNS     servers to cause a denial of service (secondary DNS server crash) via a large AXFR response, and possibly     allows IXFR servers to cause a denial of service (IXFR client crash) via a large IXFR response and allows     remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (primary DNS server crash) via a large UPDATE     message. (CVE-2016-6170)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:1582 advisory.

    The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols.
    BIND includes a DNS server (named); a resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing     with DNS); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly.

    Security Fix(es):

    * A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND handled a query response containing CNAME or DNAME     resource records in an unusual order. A remote attacker could use this flaw to make named exit     unexpectedly with an assertion failure via a specially crafted DNS response. (CVE-2017-3137)

    * A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND handled DNSSEC validation. A remote attacker could     use this flaw to make named exit unexpectedly with an assertion failure via a specially crafted DNS     response. (CVE-2017-3139)

    Red Hat would like to thank ISC for reporting CVE-2017-3137.

    Bug Fix(es):

    * ICANN is planning to perform a Root Zone DNSSEC Key Signing Key (KSK) rollover during October 2017.
    Maintaining an up-to-date KSK, by adding the new root zone KSK, is essential for ensuring that validating     DNS resolvers continue to function following the rollover. (BZ#1458229, BZ#1458230, BZ#1458231,     BZ#1458232, BZ#1458233)

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2017-1202 advisory.

    [32:9.8.2-0.62.rc1.2]
    - Fix DNSKEY that encountered a CNAME (#1447869, ISC change 3391)
