CVE-2022-2906
Description
A flaw was found in the Bind package, where a flaw in ‘named’ can cause a small memory leak in key processing when using TKEY records in Diffie-Hellman mode with OpenSSL 3.0.0 and later versions. This flaw allows an attacker to gradually erode available memory to the point where ‘named’ crashes due to a lack of resources.
Statement
This flaw only affects versions BIND-9.18.0 and higher, whereas Red Hat ships BIND-9.16 and lower versions. Therefore, versions of BIND shipped with Red Hat Products are not affected by this flaw.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
