Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1737)

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 handling a very large number of RRs. Resolver caches and authoritative zone databases that hold significant numbers of RRs for the same hostname (of any RTYPE) can suffer from degraded performance as content is being added or updated, and also when handling client queries for this name.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1975)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. If a server hosts a zone containing a "KEY" Resource Record, or a resolver DNSSEC-validates a "KEY" Resource Record from a DNSSEC-signed domain in cache, a client can exhaust resolver CPU resources by sending a stream of SIG(0) signed requests.


3) Reachable assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4076)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion when serving both stale cache data and authoritative zone content. A remote attacker can send specially crafted queries to the DNS server to trigger an assertion failure and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Use of uninitialized variable (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26147)

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

The vulnerability exists due to usage of an uninitialized variable when using the LoadIndexFile or DownloadIndexFile functions in the repo package or the LoadDir function in the plugin package. If index.yaml file or a plugins plugin.yaml file are missing in the repository, the application crashes.


5) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-38476)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker with control over the backend server can run local handlers via internal redirect and gain access to sensitive information or compromise the affected system.
