Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-202010-6
=========================================
Severity: High
Date : 2020-10-18
CVE-ID : CVE-2020-25829
Package : powerdns-recursor
Type : denial of service
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-1243
Summary
=======
The package powerdns-recursor before version 4.3.5-1 is vulnerable to
denial of service.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 4.3.5-1.
# pacman -Syu "powerdns-recursor>=4.3.5-1"
The problem has been fixed upstream in version 4.3.5.
Workaround
==========
None.
Description
===========
An issue has been found in PowerDNS Recursor before 4.3.5 where a
remote attacker can cause the cached records for a given name to be
updated to the ‘Bogus’ DNSSEC validation state, instead of their actual
DNSSEC ‘Secure’ state, via a DNS ANY query. This results in a denial of
service for installations that always validate (dnssec=validate) and
for clients requesting validation when on-demand validation is enabled
(dnssec=process).
Impact
======
A remote attacker can deny DNSSEC validation by updating the state of
cached entries.
