The size limit for that cache database can be configured using the `max-cache-size` statement in the configuration file; it defaults to 90% of the total amount of memory available on the host. When the size of the cache reaches 7/8 of the configured limit, a cache-cleaning algorithm starts to remove expired and/or least-recently used RRsets from the cache, to keep memory use below the configured limit.\n\nIt has been discovered that the effectiveness of the cache-cleaning algorithm used in `named` can be severely diminished by querying the resolver for specific RRsets in a certain order, effectively allowing the configured `max-cache-size` limit to be significantly exceeded.\nThis issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.16.41, 9.18.0 through 9.18.15, 9.19.0 through 9.19.13, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.16.41-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.15-S1." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "n/a" } ] } ] }, "affects": { "vendor": { "vendor_data": [ { "vendor_name": "ISC", "product": { "product_data": [ { "product_name": "BIND 9", "version": { "version_data": [ { "version_affected": "<=", "version_name": "9.11.0", "version_value": "9.16.41" }, { "version_affected": "<=", "version_name": "9.18.0", "version_value": "9.18.15" }, { "version_affected": "<=", "version_name": "9.19.0", "version_value": "9.19.13" }, { "version_affected": "<=", "version_name": "9.11.3-S1", "version_value": "9.16.41-S1" }, { "version_affected": "<=", "version_name": "9.18.11-S1", "version_value": "9.18.15-S1" } ] } } ] } } ] } }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "https://kb.isc.org/docs/cve-2023-2828", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://kb.isc.org/docs/cve-2023-2828" }, { "url": "http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/06/21/6", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/06/21/6" }, { "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/U3K6AJK7RRSR53HRF5GGKPA6PDUDWOD2/", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/U3K6AJK7RRSR53HRF5GGKPA6PDUDWOD2/" }, { "url": "https://www.debian.org/security/2023/dsa-5439", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://www.debian.org/security/2023/dsa-5439" }, { "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/SEFCEVCTYEMKTWA7V7EYPI5YQQ4JWDLI/", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/SEFCEVCTYEMKTWA7V7EYPI5YQQ4JWDLI/" }, { "url": "https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20230703-0010/", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20230703-0010/" }, { "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/07/msg00021.html", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/07/msg00021.html" } ] }, "source": { "discovery": "EXTERNAL" }, "work_around": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "No workarounds known." } ], "exploit": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "We are not aware of any active exploits." } ], "solution": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "Upgrade to the patched release most closely related to your current version of BIND 9: 9.16.42, 9.18.16, 9.19.14, 9.16.42-S1, or 9.18.16-S1." } ], "credits": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "ISC would like to thank Shoham Danino from Reichman University, Anat Bremler-Barr from Tel-Aviv University, Yehuda Afek from Tel-Aviv University, and Yuval Shavitt from Tel-Aviv University for bringing this vulnerability to our attention." } ], "impact": { "cvss": [ { "version": "3.1", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "userInteraction": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "baseScore": 7.5, "baseSeverity": "HIGH" } ] } }
