There are 4 open security issues in buster.
4 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:
- CVE-2019-10190:
(needs triaging)
A vulnerability was discovered in DNS resolver component of knot resolver through version 3.2.0 before 4.1.0 which allows remote attackers to bypass DNSSEC validation for non-existence answer. NXDOMAIN answer would get passed through to the client even if its DNSSEC validation failed, instead of sending a SERVFAIL packet. Caching is not affected by this particular bug but see CVE-2019-10191.
- CVE-2019-10191:
(needs triaging)
A vulnerability was discovered in DNS resolver of knot resolver before version 4.1.0 which allows remote attackers to downgrade DNSSEC-secure domains to DNSSEC-insecure state, opening possibility of domain hijack using attacks against insecure DNS protocol.
- CVE-2019-19331:
(needs triaging)
knot-resolver before version 4.3.0 is vulnerable to denial of service through high CPU utilization. DNS replies with very many resource records might be processed very inefficiently, in extreme cases taking even several CPU seconds for each such uncached message. For example, a few thousand A records can be squashed into one DNS message (limit is 64kB).
- CVE-2020-12667:
(needs triaging)
Knot Resolver before 5.1.1 allows traffic amplification via a crafted DNS answer from an attacker-controlled server, aka an "NXNSAttack" issue. This is triggered by random subdomains in the NSDNAME in NS records.
You can find information about how to handle these issues in the security team's documentation.
