+ <title>BIND: Weak random number generation</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ The ISC BIND random number generator uses a weak algorithm, making it
+ easier to guess the next query ID and perform a DNS cache poisoning attack.
+ </synopsis>

+ ISC BIND is the Internet Systems Consortium implementation of the
+ Domain Name System (DNS) protocol.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Amit Klein from Trusteer reported that the random number generator of
+ ISC BIND leads, half the time, to predictable (1 chance to 8) query IDs
+ in the resolver routine or in zone transfer queries (CVE-2007-2926).
+ Additionally, the default configuration file has been strengthen with
+ respect to the allow-recursion{} and the allow-query{} options
+ (CVE-2007-2925).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker can use this weakness by sending queries for a domain
+ he handles to a resolver (directly to a recursive server, or through
+ another process like an email processing) and then observing the
+ resulting IDs of the iterative queries. The attacker will half the time
+ be able to guess the next query ID, then perform cache poisoning by
+ answering with those guessed IDs, while spoofing the UDP source address
+ of the reply. Furthermore, with empty allow-recursion{} and
+ allow-query{} options, the default configuration allowed anybody to
+ make recursive queries and query the cache.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time for the random generator
+ weakness. The allow-recursion{} and allow-query{} options should be set
+ to trusted hosts only in /etc/bind/named.conf, thus preventing several
+ security risks.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All ISC BIND users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-dns/bind-9.4.1_p1&quot;</code>
+ </resolution>
