baseScore: 7.5
baseSeverity: HIGH
descriptions: value: A bad interaction between DNS64 and serve-stale may cause `named` to crash with an assertion failure during recursive resolution, when both of these features are enabled.
This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.16.12 through 9.16.45, 9.18.0 through 9.18.21, 9.19.0 through 9.19.19, 9.16.12-S1 through 9.16.45-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.21-S1.
impacts: descriptions: value: By querying a DNS64-enabled resolver for domain names triggering serve-stale, an attacker can cause `named` to crash with an assertion failure.
workarounds: value: Disabling serve-stale (with `stale-cache-enable no;` and `stale-answer-enable no;`) and/or disabling `dns64` makes the faulty code path impossible to reach, preventing this flaw from being exploitable.
exploits: value: We are not aware of any active exploits.
solutions: value: Upgrade to the patched release most closely related to your current version of BIND 9: 9.16.48, 9.18.24, 9.19.21, 9.16.48-S1, or 9.18.24-S1.
