Description
A flaw was found in bind. A remote attacker without a valid TSIG (Transaction Signature) can send unauthorized zone contents to a secondary server during a multi-message TCP IXFR (Incremental Zone Transfer). The named process may apply this unauthenticated data before the TSIG signature is verified. If the signature never arrives, named does not revert to its previous state, leading to the serving of unauthorized zone data and compromising information integrity.
Statement
Moderate: This vulnerability allows an attacker to provide unauthorized zone content to a secondary BIND server if it is configured for multi-message TCP IXFR transfers with TSIG restrictions. While TSIG is intended to secure zone transfers, the flaw prevents named from rolling back changes when a valid signature is not received, leading to potential data integrity issues.
