ISC BIND 8.2/8.2.1/8.2.2 TSIG memory corruption

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in ISC BIND 8.2/8.2.1/8.2.2 (Domain Name Software). It has been classified as very critical. This affects an unknown code of the component TSIG Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Buffer overflow in transaction signature (TSIG) handling code in BIND 8 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

The weakness was disclosed 01/30/2001 by John McDonald as confirmed advisory (CERT.org). The advisory is shared at cert.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2001-0010. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 11/23/2024). Due to its background and reception, this vulnerability has a historic impact.

A public exploit has been developed by Gneisenau in ANSI C and been published 2 months after the advisory. The exploit is shared for download at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. We expect the 0-day to have been worth approximately $100k and more. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 14863 (Debian DSA-026-1 : bind - buffer overflows and information leak), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Debian Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The analysis with Nessus happens with this NASL code:

if(ereg(string:vers,
	 pattern:"^8\.(([0-1].*)|(2\.[0-2])).*"))security_hole(53);

if(ereg(string:vers,
    	pattern:"^4\.([0-8]|9\.[0-7]([^0-9]|$)).*"))security_hole(53);
The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 15044 (Sun Solaris BIND Multiple Vulnerabilities).

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published before and not just after the disclosure of the vulnerability. Attack attempts may be identified with Snort ID 303. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 1333.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (6015), Exploit-DB (277), Tenable (14863), SecurityFocus (BID 2302†) and OSVDB (14795†). The entries VDB-16378, VDB-16379 and VDB-16380 are pretty similar. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
