Original advisory details: Yehuda Afek, Anat Bremler-Barr, and Shani Stajnrod discovered that Bind incorrectly handled large delegations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to reduce performance, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-2795) It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled memory when processing ECDSA DNSSEC verification. A remote attacker could use this issue to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-38177) Source: USN-5626-2: Bind vulnerabilities

USN-5626-1: Bind vulnerabilities Yehuda Afek, Anat Bremler-Barr, and Shani Stajnrod discovered that Bind incorrectly handled large delegations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to reduce performance, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-2795) It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled statistics requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive memory contents, or cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-2881) It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled memory when processing certain Diffie-Hellman key exchanges. A remote attacker could use this issue to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-2906) Maksym Odinintsev discovered that Bind incorrectly handled answers from cache when configured with a zero stale-answer-timeout.

USN-5623-1: Linux kernel (HWE) vulnerabilities Asaf Modelevsky discovered that the Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express (ixgbe) Ethernet driver for the Linux kernel performed insufficient control flow management. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2021-33061) It was discovered that the framebuffer driver on the Linux kernel did not verify size limits when changing font or screen size, leading to an out-of- bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-33655) Moshe Kol, Amit Klein and Yossi Gilad discovered that the IP implementation in the Linux kernel did not provide sufficient randomization when calculating port offsets. An attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-1012, CVE-2022-32296) Norbert Slusarek discovered that a race condition existed in the perf subsystem in the Linux [ more… ]
