Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) Resource management error

EUVDB-ID: #VU67545

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-2022-2795

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when processing large delegations. A remote attacker can flood the target resolver with queries and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package bind9 to the latest version.

Vulnerable software versions

Ubuntu: 18.04 - 22.04

bind9 (Ubuntu package): before 1:9.11.3+dfsg-1ubuntu1.18

CPE2.3 External links

https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-5626-1


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU67546

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2881

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when reusing HTTP connection while requesting statistics from the stats channel. A remote DNS server under attacker's control trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or perform a denial of service attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package bind9 to the latest version.

Vulnerable software versions

Ubuntu: 18.04 - 22.04

bind9 (Ubuntu package): before 1:9.11.3+dfsg-1ubuntu1.18

https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-5626-1


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote authenticated privileged user via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

3) Memory leak

EUVDB-ID: #VU67547

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-2022-2906

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in key processing when using TKEY records in Diffie-Hellman mode with OpenSSL 3.0.0 and later versions. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package bind9 to the latest version.

Vulnerable software versions

Ubuntu: 18.04 - 22.04

bind9 (Ubuntu package): before 1:9.11.3+dfsg-1ubuntu1.18

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

4) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU67548

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-2022-3080

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when resolvers are configured to answer from stale cache with zero stale-answer-client-timeout and there is a stale CNAME in the cache for an incoming query. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the DNS resolver and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package bind9 to the latest version.

Vulnerable software versions

Ubuntu: 18.04 - 22.04

5) Memory leak

EUVDB-ID: #VU67549

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-2022-38177

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the DNSSEC verification code for the ECDSA algorithm. A remote attacker can spoof the target resolver with responses that have a malformed ECDSA signature and perform denial of service attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package bind9 to the latest version.

6) Memory leak

EUVDB-ID: #VU67550

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-2022-38178

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

Exploit availability: No

Description
