The remote Fedora 39 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-b4acb0f7c6 advisory.
The code that processes control channel messages sent to named
calls certain functions recursively during packet parsing. Recursion depth is only limited by the maximum accepted packet size; depending on the environment, this may cause the packet-parsing code to run out of available stack memory, causing named
to terminate unexpectedly. Since each incoming control channel message is fully parsed before its contents are authenticated, exploiting this flaw does not require the attacker to hold a valid RNDC key;
only network access to the control channel’s configured TCP port is necessary. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.2.0 through 9.16.43, 9.18.0 through 9.18.18, 9.19.0 through 9.19.16, 9.9.3-S1 through 9.16.43-S1, and 9.18.0-S1 through 9.18.18-S1. (CVE-2023-3341)
A flaw in the networking code handling DNS-over-TLS queries may cause named
to terminate unexpectedly due to an assertion failure. This happens when internal data structures are incorrectly reused under significant DNS-over-TLS query load. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.18.0 through 9.18.18 and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.18-S1. (CVE-2023-4236)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
