APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The default configuration of ISC BIND before 9.4.1-P1,
    when configured as a caching name server, allows
    recursive
    queries and provides additional delegation information to
    arbitrary IP addresses, which allows remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (traffic amplification)
    via DNS queries with spoofed source IP addresses.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • If /etc/named.conf file is not configured with trusted subnet
    parameters, AIX named9 will allow user request from anywhere
    to do the recursive query via named, and query named's
    unauthoritative cache entry. This is a potential
    "Denial of Service" vulnerability.
    

Problem conclusion

  • AIX named9 code is modified to allow recursive queries or cache
    queries only to the hosts within the subnet of the DNS server
    (ie localhost, localnet) by default, if /etc/named.conf is
    not configured with any ACL's using 'allow-query-cache' or
    'allow-recursion' options.
