CVE: CVE-2022-0396
Document version: 2.0
Posting date: 16 March 2022
Program impacted: BIND
Versions affected: BIND 9.16.11 -> 9.16.26, 9.17.0 -> 9.18.0 and versions
9.16.11-S1 -> 9.16.26-S1 of the BIND Supported Preview
Edition.
Severity: Medium
Exploitable: Remotely
Description:
ISC recently discovered an issue in BIND that allows TCP connection
slots
to be consumed for an indefinite time frame via a specifically crafted
TCP stream sent from a client. This issue is present in BIND 9.16.11 to
9.16.26 (including S editions), and 9.18.0.
This issue can only be triggered on BIND servers which have
`keep-response-order` enabled, which is not the default configuration.
The `keep-response-order` option is an ACL block; any hosts which are
specified within it will be able to trigger this issue on affected
versions.
Impact:
Specifically crafted TCP streams can cause connections to BIND to remain
in CLOSE_WAIT status for an indefinite period of time, even after the
client has terminated the connection.
CVSS Score: 4.9
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:F/RL:O/RC:C

Workarounds:
To mitigate this issue in all affected versions of BIND, use the default
setting of:
keep-response-order { none; }.
Active exploits:
We are not aware of any active exploits.
Solution:
Upgrade to the patched release most closely related to your current
version of BIND:
9.16.27
9.18.1

BIND provided to eligible ISC support customers.
