Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0550-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0550-01 - The Berkeley Internet Name Domain is an implementation of the Domain Name System protocols. BIND includes a DNS server ; a resolver library ; and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly. DNS64 is used to automatically generate DNS records so IPv6 based clients can access IPv4 systems through a NAT64 server. A flaw was found in the DNS64 implementation in BIND when using Response Policy Zones. If a remote attacker sent a specially-crafted query to a named server that is using RPZ rewrite rules, named could exit unexpectedly with an assertion failure. Note that DNS64 support is not enabled by default.

3. Description:

The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the
Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named); a
resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with
DNS); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly.
DNS64 is used to automatically generate DNS records so IPv6 based clients
can access IPv4 systems through a NAT64 server.

A flaw was found in the DNS64 implementation in BIND when using Response
Policy Zones (RPZ). If a remote attacker sent a specially-crafted query to
a named server that is using RPZ rewrite rules, named could exit
unexpectedly with an assertion failure. Note that DNS64 support is not
enabled by default. (CVE-2012-5689)

This update also adds the following enhancement:

* Previously, it was impossible to configure the the maximum number of
responses sent per second to one client. This allowed remote attackers to
conduct traffic amplification attacks using DNS queries with spoofed source
IP addresses. With this update, it is possible to use the new "rate-limit"
configuration option in named.conf and configure the maximum number of
queries which the server responds to. Refer to the BIND documentation for
more details about the "rate-limit" option. (BZ#906312)

All bind users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain patches to correct this issue and add this enhancement. After
installing the update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted
automatically.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

903417 - CVE-2012-5689 bind: denial of service when processing queries and with both DNS64 and RPZ enabled
906312 - bind: Backport Response Rate Limiting (DNS RRL) patch into Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
