Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one low risk vulnerability.
EUVDB-ID: #VU52734
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:U/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-25214
CWE-ID:
CWE-617 - Reachable Assertion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion when pressing IXFR queries. An IXFR stream containing SOA records with an owner name other than the transferred zone's apex may cause the receiving named
server to inadvertently remove the SOA record for the zone in question
from the zone database. This leads to an assertion failure when the next
SOA refresh query for that zone is made. When a vulnerable version of named
receives a malformed IXFR triggering the flaw described above, the named
process will terminate due to a failed assertion the next time the transferred secondary zone is refreshed.
Cybersecurity Help is currently unaware of any official solution to address this vulnerability.
Vulnerable software versionsBIG-IP: 11.6.1 - 16.0.1.1.9.6
BIG-IQ Centralized Management: 6.0.0 - 8.0.0
