By sending a specially crafted request packet, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass TSIG authentication on AXFR requests and transfer the target zone. CVSS Base Score: 5.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/127901 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) CVEID: CVE-2017-3143 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-3143 https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-3143 DESCRIPTION: ISC BIND could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an error when an attacker can send and receive messages to an authoritative DNS server and has knowledge of a valid TSIG key name. By sending specially crafted data, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass TSIG authentication and manipulate BIND into accepting an unauthorized dynamic update.

FIX AND INTERIM FIX INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup of the system be created. Verify it is both bootable and readable before proceeding. To preview a fix installation: installp -a -d fix_name -p all # where fix_name is the name of the # fix package being previewed. To install a fix package: installp -a -d fix_name -X all # where fix_name is the name of the # fix package being installed. Interim fixes have had limited functional and regression testing but not the full regression testing that takes place for Service Packs; however, IBM does fully support them. Interim fix management documentation can be found at: http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix.efixmgmt/home.html https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix.efixmgmt/home.html To preview an interim fix installation: emgr -e epkg_name -p # where epkg_name is the name of the # interim fix package being previewed. To install an interim fix package: emgr -e epkg_name -X # where epkg_name is the name of the # interim fix package being installed.
