Description

A bad interaction between DNS64 and serve-stale may cause `named` to crash with an assertion failure during recursive resolution, when both of these features are enabled. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.16.12 through 9.16.45, 9.18.0 through 9.18.21, 9.19.0 through 9.19.19, 9.16.12-S1 through 9.16.45-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.21-S1. A flaw was found in the bind package. This issue may allow an attacker to query in a DNS64 enabled resolver node with a domain name triggering a server-stale data, triggering a code assertion, and resulting in a crash of `named` processes. This can allow a remote unauthenticated user to cause a Denial Of Service in the DNS server.
