2) Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action

EUVDB-ID: #VU61422

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-25220

CWE-ID: CWE-350 - Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to poison DNS cache.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in DNS forwarder implementation. When using forwarders, bogus NS records supplied by, or via, those forwarders may be cached and used by named if it needs to recurse for any reason, causing it to obtain and pass on potentially incorrect answers. The cache could become poisoned with incorrect records leading to queries being made to the wrong servers, which might also result in false information being returned to clients.
