4Description
Under certain conditions, `named` may crash when processing a correctly signed query containing a TKEY record. The affected code can only be reached if an incoming request has a valid transaction signature (TSIG) from a key declared in the `named` configuration. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.20.0 through 9.20.20, 9.21.0 through 9.21.19, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.20-S1. BIND 9 versions 9.18.0 through 9.18.46 and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.46-S1 are NOT affected.
Analysis
BIND 9 DNS server crashes when processing specially crafted TSIG-authenticated queries containing TKEY records, affecting versions 9.20.0-9.20.20, 9.21.0-9.21.19, and 9.20.9-S1-9.20.20-S1 on Ubuntu, SUSE, and Debian systems. An authenticated attacker with a valid TSIG key can trigger a denial of service by sending a malformed query, disrupting DNS resolution services. …
