The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:3271 advisory. The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named); a resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that allows individual devices on an IP network to get their own network configuration information, including an IP address, a subnet mask, and a broadcast address. The dhcp packages provide a relay agent and ISC DHCP service required to enable and administer DHCP on a network. Security Fix(es): * bind9: Parsing large DNS messages may cause excessive CPU load (CVE-2023-4408) * bind9: KeyTrap – Extreme CPU consumption in DNSSEC validator (CVE-2023-50387) * bind9: Preparing an NSEC3 closest encloser proof can exhaust CPU resources (CVE-2023-50868) Bug Fix: * dhcp rebuilt after API change of bind-export-libs For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory. Note that Nessus has not tested for these…Read More
