DescriptionNVD

BIND servers that are configured to use TKEY-based authentication via GSS-API tokens are vulnerable to excessive memory consumption when receiving and processing maliciously-constructed packets. Typically these servers will be found in Active Directory integrated DNS deployments and/or Kerberos-secured DNS environments. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.0.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.48, 9.20.0 through 9.20.22, 9.21.0 through 9.21.21, 9.9.3-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.48-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.22-S1.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in ISC BIND 9 DNS servers configured with TKEY GSS-API authentication allows remote unauthenticated attackers to trigger excessive memory consumption by sending maliciously crafted packets. The flaw primarily impacts Active Directory-integrated DNS and Kerberos-secured DNS deployments, where service exhaustion can disrupt authentication, name resolution, and dependent enterprise services. …
