named exits with a REQUIRE assertion failure if it receives a null command string on its control channel

named contains a feature which allows operators to issue commands to a running server by communicating with the server process over a control channel, using a utility program such as rndc. A regression introduced in a recent feature change has created a situation under which some versions of named can be caused to exit with a REQUIRE assertion failure if they are sent a null command string. Affects BIND 9.9.9->9.9.9-P7, 9.9.10b1->9.9.10rc2, 9.10.4->9.10.4-P7, 9.10.5b1->9.10.5rc2, 9.11.0->9.11.0-P4, 9.11.1b1->9.11.1rc2, 9.9.9-S1->9.9.9-S9.

Problem Types
TypeCWE IDDescription
textN/AThe BIND control channel is not configured by default, but when configured will accept commands from those IP addresses that are specified in its access control list and/or from clients which present the proper transaction key. Using this defect, an attacker can cause a running server to stop if they can get it to accept control channel input from them. In most instances this is not as bad as it sounds, because existing commands permitted over the control channel (i.e. "rndc stop") can already be given to cause the server to stop. However, BIND 9.11.0 introduced a new option to allow "read only" commands over the command channel. Using this restriction, a server can be configured to limit specified clients to giving control channel commands which return information only (e.g. "rndc status") without affecting the operational state of the server. The defect described in this advisory, however, is not properly stopped by the "read only" restriction, in essence permitting a privilege escalation allowing a client which should only be permitted the limited set of "read only" operations to cause the server to stop execution.

Upgrade to the patched release most closely related to your current version of BIND. These can all be downloaded from http://www.isc.org/downloads. BIND 9 version 9.9.9-P8 BIND 9 version 9.10.4-P8 BIND 9 version 9.11.0-P5 BIND Supported Preview Edition is a special feature preview branch of BIND provided to eligible ISC support customers. BIND 9 version 9.9.9-S10 New maintenance releases of BIND are also scheduled which contain the fix for this vulnerability. In addition to the security releases listed above, fixes for this vulnerability are also included in these release candidate versions: BIND 9 version 9.9.10rc3 BIND 9 version 9.10.5rc3 BIND 9 version 9.11.1rc3

Configurations

Workarounds

None. However, in a properly configured server, access to the control channel should already be limited by either network ACLs, TSIG keys, or both.

Denial of Service in Tensorflow

In Tensorflow before version 2.3.1, the `SparseCountSparseOutput` implementation does not validate that the input arguments form a valid sparse tensor. In particular, there is no validation that the `indices` tensor has rank 2. This tensor must be a matrix because code assumes its elements are accessed as elements of a matrix. However, malicious users can pass in tensors of different rank, resulting in a `CHECK` assertion failure and a crash. This can be used to cause denial of service in serving installations, if users are allowed to control the components of the input sparse tensor. The issue is patched in commit 3cbb917b4714766030b28eba9fb41bb97ce9ee02 and is released in TensorFlow version 2.3.1.
