-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ============================================================================= FreeBSD-SA-07:07.bind Security Advisory The FreeBSD Project Topic: Predictable query ids in named(8) Category: contrib Module: bind Announced: 2007-08-01 Credits: Amit Klein Affects: FreeBSD 5.3 and later. Corrected: 2007-07-25 08:23:08 UTC (RELENG_6, 6.2-STABLE) 2007-08-01 20:44:58 UTC (RELENG_6_2, 6.2-RELEASE-p7) 2007-08-01 20:45:49 UTC (RELENG_6_1, 6.1-RELEASE-p19) 2007-07-25 08:24:40 UTC (RELENG_5, 5.5-STABLE) 2007-08-01 20:48:19 UTC (RELENG_5_5, 5.5-RELEASE-p15) CVE Name: CVE-2007-2926 For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the following sections, please visit . I. Background BIND 9 is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. The named(8) daemon is an Internet Domain Name Server. DNS requests contain a query id which is used match a DNS request with the response and to make it harder for anybody but the DNS server which received the request to send a valid response. II. Problem Description When named(8) is operating as a recursive DNS server or sending NOTIFY requests to slave DNS servers, named(8) uses a predictable query id. III. Impact An attacker who can see the query id for some request(s) sent by named(8) is likely to be able to perform DNS cache poisoning by predicting the query id for other request(s). IV. Workaround No workaround is available. V. Solution Perform one of the following: 1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 5-STABLE, or 6-STABLE, or to the RELENG_6_2, RELENG_6_1, or RELENG_5_5 security branch dated after the correction date. 2) To patch your present system: The following patches have been verified to apply to FreeBSD 5.5, 6.1, and 6.2 systems. a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the detached PGP signature using your PGP utility. # fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-07:07/bind.patch # fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-07:07/bind.patch.asc b) Execute the following commands as root: # cd /usr/src # patch < /path/to/patch # cd /usr/src/lib/bind # make obj && make depend && make && make install # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/named # make obj && make depend && make && make install VI.
