OVERVIEW

        A number of vulnerabilities have been identified in BIND prior to
        versions 9.7.2-P3, 9.6.2-P3, 9.6-ESV-R3, 9.4-ESV-R4.


IMPACT

        The vendor has provided the following description of these
        vulnerabilities:
        
        CVE-2010-3613: "Adding certain types of signed negative responses to 
        cache doesn't clear any matching RRSIG records already in cache. A 
        subsequent lookup of the cached data can cause named to crash 
        (INSIST)." [1]
        
        CVE-2010-3614: "named, acting as a DNSSEC validator, was determining 
        if an NS RRset is insecure based on a value that could mean either 
        that the RRset is actually insecure or that there wasn't a matching 
        key for the RRSIG in the DNSKEY RRset when resuming from validating 
        the DNSKEY RRset. This can happen when in the middle of a DNSKEY 
        algorithm rollover, when two different algorithms were used to sign a 
        zone but only the new set of keys are in the zone DNSKEY RRset." [2]
        
        CVE-2010-3615: "When named is running as an authoritative server for a 
        zone and receives a query for that zone data, it first checks for 
        allow-query acls in the zone statement, then in that view, then in 
        global options. If none of these exist, it defaults to allowing any 
        query (allow-query {"any"};). With this bug, if the allow-query is not 
        set in the zone statement, it failed to check in view or global options 
        and fell back to the default of allowing any query. This means that 
        queries that the zone owner did not wish to allow were incorrectly 
        allowed. This bug doesn't affect allow-recursion or allow-query-cache 
        acls, since they are not relevant to a zone for which the server is 
        authoritative." [3]


MITIGATION

        The vendor recommends upgrading to the latest version of BIND to
        correct these vulnerabilities.
