Subject: Knot Resolver 4.1.0 security release
Hello.
This Wednesday there was a Knot Resolver release and embargo lift for
two CVEs, both allowing the server to incorrectly accept DNS records:
CVE-2019-10190 and CVE-2019-10191; more details at the end of this e-mail.
We apologize for forgetting our responsibility to also post to
oss-security on that day. Thanks to Salvatore Bonaccorso for notifying us.
Minimal patches are attached, but we generally do not recommend
backporting them. Announcement:
https://lists.nic.cz/pipermail/knot-resolver-users/2019/000189.html
--Vladimir (upstream dev, discovered and fixed)
#### CVE-2019-10190
Impact
======
Under certain circumstances, improper input validation bug in DNS
resolver component of Knot Resolver allows remote attacker to bypass
DNSSEC validation for non-existence answer.
An NXDOMAIN answer would get passed through to the client even if its
DNSSEC validation failed, instead of sending a SERVFAIL packet.
Caching is not affected by this particular bug but see the other CVE.
[Affected version (required)]:
3.2.0 <= Knot Resolver <= 4.0.0
[Vulnerability type (required)]:
CWE-20: Improper Input Validation
[Affected component (required)]:
resolver
[Impact of exploitation (required)]:
Under certain circumstances this bug allows an attacker to hijack
DNS domains.

#### CVE-2019-10191
Impact
======
Under certain circumstances this bug allows an network attacker with
ability to spoof packets to downgrade a DNSSEC-secured domain to
DNSSEC-insecure state, thus opening possibilities for further attacks.
[Affected version (required)]:
Knot Resolver <= 4.0.0
(probably since 2.0.0, we did not check older versions thoroughly)
[Vulnerability type (required)]:
CWE-20: Improper Input Validation
[Affected component (required)]:
resolver
[Impact of exploitation (required)]:
Under certain circumstances this bug allows an attacker to downgrade
DNSSEC-secure domains to DNSSEC-insecure state, opening possibility of
domain hijack using attacks against insecure DNS protocol.
[Description of vulnerability]:
Improper input validation bug in DNS resolver component of Knot Resolver
allows remote attacker to poison cache by an unsigned negative answer.
