What it is about

BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) ist ein Open-Source-Softwarepaket, das einen Domain-Name-System-Server implementiert. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Internet Systems Consortium BIND ausnutzen, um Dateien zu manipulieren und um einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen.

Under what conditions?

Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • Dateien zu manipulieren
  • einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • IBM AIX 7.3
  • Debian Linux
  • IBM AIX 4.1
  • Amazon Linux 2
  • IBM AIX 7.2
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • Fedora Linux
  • Ubuntu Linux
  • SUSE Linux
  • Oracle Linux
  • IBM QRadar SIEM
  • SUSE openSUSE

and 8 more

The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.

What helps?

Update to at least:

  • Internet Systems Consortium BIND 9.18.41
  • Internet Systems Consortium BIND 9.20.15
  • Internet Systems Consortium BIND 9.21.14
  • Internet Systems Consortium BIND Supported Preview Edition 9.18.41-S1
  • Internet Systems Consortium BIND Supported Preview Edition 9.20.15-S1
  • Dell NetWorker vProxy 19.14

Is the vulnerability already being exploited?

None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
