Subject: [BIND] CVE-2015-5477: An error in handling TKEY queries can cause
named to exit with a REQUIRE assertion failure
A deliberately constructed packet can exploit an error in the
handling of queries for TKEY records, permitting denial of service.
CVE: CVE-2015-5477
Document Version: 1.0
Posting date: 28 July 2015
Program Impacted: BIND
Versions affected: 9.1.0 -> 9.8.x, 9.9.0->9.9.7-P1, 9.10.0->9.10.2-P2
Severity: Critical
Exploitable: Remotely
Description:
An error in the handling of TKEY queries can be exploited by an
attacker for use as a denial-of-service vector, as a constructed
packet can use the defect to trigger a REQUIRE assertion failure,
causing BIND to exit.
Impact:
Both recursive and authoritative servers are vulnerable to this
defect. Additionally, exposure is not prevented by either ACLs
or configuration options limiting or denying service because the
exploitable code occurs early in the packet handling, before
checks enforcing those boundaries.
All versions of BIND 9 from BIND 9.1.0 (inclusive) through BIND
9.9.7-P1 and BIND 9.10.2-P2 are vulnerable.
Operators should take steps to upgrade to a patched version as
soon as possible.
CVSS Score: 7.8
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C)

Workarounds: None.
Active exploits: None known.
Solution:
Upgrade to the patched release most closely related to your
current version of BIND. These can be downloaded from
http://www.isc.org/downloads.
+ BIND 9 version 9.9.7-P2
+ BIND 9 version 9.10.2-P3
