Sun announces the release of patches for Solaris(tm) 8, 7, 2.6,
2.5.1, 2.5, and 2.4 (SunOS(tm) 5.8, 5.7, 5.6, 5.5.1, 5.5, and
5.4) which relate to several vulnerabilities reported in CERT
CA-2001-02.

Sun recommends that you install the patches listed in section 4
immediately on systems running SunOS 5.8, 5.7, 5.6, 5.5.1, 5.5,
and 5.4 with Sun's implementation of BIND.

2. Who is Affected

Vulnerable: Systems running Sun's implementation of BIND
(in.named) on SunOS 5.8, 5.8_x86, 5.7,
5.7_x86, 5.6, 5.6_x86, 5.5.1, 5.5.1_x86,
5.5, 5.5_x86, 5.4, and 5.4_x86

3. Understanding the Vulnerability

The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the
Domain Name System (DNS) protocols.

CERT Advisory CA-2001-02 describes four vulnerabilities in certain
versions of BIND. The four vulnerabilities are listed below along with
the affected versions of Solaris and the version of BIND shipped with
each version of Solaris.

VU#196945 - ISC BIND 8 contains buffer overflow in transaction
signature (TSIG) handling code

Solaris 8 04/01* (BIND 8.2.2-p5)
Solaris 8 Maintenance Update 4* (BIND 8.2.2-p5)

VU#572183 - ISC BIND 4 contains buffer overflow in nslookupComplain()

Solaris 2.6 (BIND 4.9.4-P1)
Solaris 2.5.1** (BIND 4.9.3)

VU#868916 - ISC BIND 4 contains input validation error in
nslookupComplain()

Solaris 2.6 (BIND 4.9.4-P1)
Solaris 2.5.1** (BIND 4.9.3)

VU#325431 - Queries to ISC BIND servers may disclose environment variables

Solaris 2.4, 2.5 (BIND 4.8.3)
Solaris 2.5.1** (BIND 4.9.3 and BIND 4.8.3)

Solaris 7 and 8 (BIND 8.1.2)

* To determine if one is running Solaris 8 04/01 or Solaris 8 Maintenance
Update 4, check the contents of the /etc/release file.

** Solaris 2.5.1 ships with BIND 4.8.3 but patch 103663-01 for SPARC and
103664-01 for x86 upgrades BIND to 4.9.3, current revision for each
patch is -17.
