Vigil@nce - BIND: denial of service via a Trust Anchor

September 2010 by Vigil@nce

This bulletin was written by Vigil@nce : http://vigilance.fr/

SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY

When BIND uses several Trust Anchors, one of them can send an
invalid answer, in order to stop BIND.

Severity: 1/4

Creation date: 15/09/2010

DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY

The DNSSEC extension authenticates DNS packets, using a signature.
A Trust Anchor is an authority publishing a root signature.

ISC proposes DLV (DNSSEC Look-aside Validation) providing an
alternative Trust Anchor, which is configured in the named.conf
file of BIND :
dnssec-lookaside . trust-anchor dlv.isc.org.;

BIND can be configured with several Trust Anchors. However, in
this case, if a Trust Anchor sends a message with an invalid
signature, an error occurs in BIND, and it stops.

When BIND uses several Trust Anchors, one of them can therefore
send an invalid answer, in order to stop BIND.
