CVE-2018-5734
While handling a particular type of malformed packet BIND erroneously selects a SERVFAIL rcode instead of a FORMERR rcode.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.29%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
While handling a particular type of malformed packet BIND erroneously selects a SERVFAIL rcode instead of a FORMERR rcode. If the receiving view has the SERVFAIL cache feature enabled, this can trigger an assertion failure in badcache.c when the request doesn't contain all of the expected information. Affects BIND 9.10.5-S1 to 9.10.5-S4, 9.10.6-S1, 9.10.6-S2.
