CVE-2026-19033
Description
A flaw was found in bind. A remote attacker without a valid TSIG (Transaction Signature) can send unauthorized zone contents to a secondary server during a multi-message TCP IXFR (Incremental Zone Transfer). The named process may apply this unauthenticated data before the TSIG signature is verified. If the signature never arrives, named does not revert to its previous state, leading to the serving of unauthorized zone data and compromising information integrity.
Statement
Moderate: This vulnerability allows an attacker to provide unauthorized zone content to a secondary BIND server if it is configured for multi-message TCP IXFR transfers with TSIG restrictions. While TSIG is intended to secure zone transfers, the flaw prevents named from rolling back changes when a valid signature is not received, leading to potential data integrity issues.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
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.
