CVE:                 CVE-2018-5743
Document version:    2.0
Posting date:        24 April 2019
Program impacted:    BIND
Versions affected:   BIND 9.9.0 -> 9.10.8-P1, 9.11.0 -> 9.11.6,
                     9.12.0 -> 9.12.4, 9.14.0. BIND 9 Supported Preview
                     Edition versions 9.9.3-S1 -> 9.11.5-S3, and 9.11.5-S5.
                     Versions 9.13.0 -> 9.13.7 of the 9.13 development branch
                     are also affected. Versions prior to BIND 9.9.0 have not
                     been evaluated for vulnerability to CVE-2018-5743.
Severity:            High
Exploitable:         Remotely

Description:

   By design, BIND is intended to limit the number of TCP clients
   that can be connected at any given time. The number of allowed
   connections is a tunable parameter which, if unset, defaults to
   a conservative value for most servers. Unfortunately, the code
   which was intended to limit the number of simultaneous connections
   contains an error which can be exploited to grow the number of
   simultaneous connections beyond this limit.

Impact:

   By exploiting the failure to limit simultaneous TCP connections,
   an attacker can deliberately exhaust the pool of file descriptors
   available to named, potentially affecting network connections
   and the management of files such as log files or zone journal
   files.

   In cases where the named process is not limited by OS-enforced
   per-process limits, this could additionally potentially lead to
   exhaustion of all available free file descriptors on that system.

CVSS Score:          7.5
CVSS Vector:         CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Workarounds:

   None.

Active exploits:

   No known deliberate exploits, but the situation may occur
   accidentally on busy servers.

   It is possible for operators to mistakenly believe that their
   configured (or default) limit is sufficient for their typical
   operations, when in fact it is not. Following an upgrade to a
   version that effectively applies limits, named may deny connections
   which were previously improperly permitted. Operators can monitor
   their logs for rejected connections, keep an eye on "rndc status"
   reports of simultaneous connections, or use other tools to monitor
   whether the now-effective limits are causing problems for
   legitimate clients. Should this be the case, increasing the value
   of the tcp-clients setting in named.conf to an appropriate value
   would be recommended.

Solution:

   Upgrade to a version of BIND containing a fix for the ineffective
   limits.

   -  BIND 9.11.6-P1
   -  BIND 9.12.4-P1
   -  BIND 9.14.1

   BIND Supported Preview Edition is a special feature preview
   branch of BIND provided to eligible ISC support customers.
