Summary:                    CVE-2012-3817: CSWbind unstable should be updated to
9.8.3-P2
Description: 
CVE-2012-3817: Heavy DNSSEC Validation Load Can Cause a "Bad Cache"
Assertion Failure in BIND9

AA-00729

Title: Heavy DNSSEC Validation Load Can Cause a "Bad Cache" Assertion
Failure in BIND9
Summary: High numbers of queries with DNSSEC validation enabled can cause
an assertion failure in named, caused by using a "bad cache" data structure
before it has been initialized.
CVE: CVE-2012-3817
Document Version: 2.2
Posting date: 24 July, 2012
Program Impacted: BIND 9
Versions affected:
9.6-ESV-R1 through 9.6-ESV-R7-P1; 9.7.1 through 9.7.6-P1; 9.8.0 through
9.8.3-P1; 9.9.0 through 9.9.1-P1.
Severity: Critical
Exploitable: Remotely
Description:
BIND 9 stores a cache of query names that are known to be failing due to
misconfigured name servers or a broken chain of trust. Under high query
loads when DNSSEC validation is active, it is possible for a condition to
arise in which data from this cache of failing queries could be used before
it was fully initialized, triggering an assertion failure.
This bug cannot be encountered unless your server is doing DNSSEC
validation.
Please Note: Versions of BIND 9.4 and 9.5 are also affected, but these
branches are beyond their "end of life" (EOL) and no longer receive testing
or security fixes from ISC. For current information on which versions are
actively supported, please see http://www.isc.org/software/bind/versions
