Subject: Notice: BIND Security Jul2013 CVE2013-4854

organizations. Please be advised that immediate action is recommended.

CVE:                   CVE-2013-4854
Document Version:      2.0
Posting date:          26 July 2013
Program Impacted:      BIND
Versions affected:     Open source: 9.7.0->9.7.7, 9.8.0->9.8.5-P1,
                       9.9.0->9.9.3-P1, 9.8.6b1 and 9.9.4b1;
                       Subscription: 9.9.3-S1 and 9.9.4-S1b1
Severity:              Critical
Exploitable:           Remotely
Description:

   A specially crafted query that includes malformed rdata can cause
   named to terminate with an assertion failure while rejecting the
   malformed query.

   BIND 9.6 and BIND 9.6-ESV are unaffected by this problem.  Earlier
   branches of BIND 9 are believed to be unaffected but have not
   been tested.  BIND 10 is also unaffected by this issue.

   Please Note: All versions of BIND 9.7 are known to be affected,
   but these branches are beyond their "end of life" (EOL) and no
   longer receive testing or security fixes from ISC. For current
   information on which versions are actively supported, please see

http://www.isc.org/downloads/software-support-policy/bind-software-status/.

Impact:

   Authoritative and recursive servers are equally vulnerable.
   Intentional exploitation of this condition can cause a denial
   of service in all nameservers running affected versions of BIND
   9.  Access Control Lists do not provide any protection from
   malicious clients.

   In addition to the named server, applications built using libraries
   from the affected source distributions may crash with assertion
   failures triggered in the same fashion.

CVSS Score:  7.8

Workarounds:

   No known workarounds at this time.

Active exploits:

   Crashes have been reported by multiple ISC customers.  First
   observed in the wild on 26 July 2013, 18:00 UTC.

Solution:

   Upgrade to the patched release most closely related to your
   current version of BIND.  Open source versions can all be
   downloaded from http://www.isc.org/downloads.  Subscription
   version customers will be contacted directly by ISC Support
   regarding delivery.

   BIND 9 version 9.8.5-P2
   BIND 9 version 9.9.3-P2
   BIND 9 version 9.9.3-S1-P1 (Subscription version available via DNSco)
