EUVDB-ID: #VU22894
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-6477
CWE-ID:
CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of TCP-pipelining feature in ISC BIND, aimed to limit the number of concurrent connections and protect the server from denial of service attacks. A remote attacker can initiate a TCP-pipelined connection with multiple queries that consume more resources than the server has been provisioned to handle and crash the server, when closing the connection.
