QID 15141: ISC BIND Denial of Service (DoS) Vulnerability (CVE-2022-1183)

ISC BIND (Berkley Internet Domain Name) is an implementation of DNS protocols.

Affected versions:
BIND from 9.18.0 prior to 9.18.2
BIND from 9.19.0 prior to 9.19.1

Patched Versions:
BIND 9.18.3
BIND 9.19.1

QID Detection Logic:
This unauthenticated check detects vulnerable systems by fetching the version information from the BIND service.

On vulnerable configurations, the named daemon may, in some circumstances, terminate with an assertion failure. Vulnerable configurations are those that include a reference to http within the listen-on statements in their named.conf. TLS is used by both DNS over TLS (DoT) and DNS over HTTPS (DoH), but configurations using DoT alone are unaffected.

  • CVSS V3 rated as High - 7.5 severity.
  • CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 4.3 severity.
  • Solution
    Customers are advised to upgrade to the patched version latest release of ISC BIND.
