Bulletin ID: 2008-07-28-001-ipa
Revision: 1.0


Title:
Multiple DNS implementations vulnerable to cache poisoning
(US-CERT Vulnerability Note VU#800113)

Summary:
Multiple FEC products may be subjected to the vulnerability described in US-CERT Note VU#800113. This vulnerability describes the principal possibility of DNS cache poisoning. An attacker with the ability to conduct a successful cache poisoning attack can cause a nameserver’s clients to contact the incorrect, and possibly malicious, hosts for particular services. Consequently, web traffic, email, and other important network data can be redirected to systems under the attacker's control.

Products affected:
All FEC products running the BOSS operating system are affected.


Details (full details at: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113):
The Domain Name System (DNS) is responsible for translating host names to IP addresses (and vice versa) and is critical for the normal operation of internet-connected systems. DNS cache poisoning (sometimes referred to as cache pollution) is an attack technique that allows an attacker to introduce forged DNS information into the cache of a caching nameserver. DNS cache poisoning is not a new concept; in fact, there are published articles that describe a number of inherent deficiencies in the DNS protocol and defects in common DNS implementations that facilitate DNS cache poisoning. The following are examples of these deficiencies and defects:
a) Insufficient transaction ID space
The DNS protocol specification includes a transaction ID field of 16 bits. If the specification is correctly implemented and the transaction ID is randomly selected with a strong random number generator, an attacker will require, on average, 32,768 attempts to successfully predict the ID. Some flawed implementations may use a smaller number of bits for this transaction ID, meaning that fewer attempts will be needed.
b) Multiple outstanding requests
Some implementations of DNS services contain a vulnerability in which multiple identical queries for the same resource record (RR) will generate multiple outstanding queries for that RR. This condition leads to the feasibility of a 'birthday attack,' which significantly raises an attacker's chance of success. This problem was previously described in VU#457875. A number of vendors and implementations have already added mitigations to address this issue.
c) Fixed source port for generating queries
Some current implementations allocate an arbitrary port at startup (sometimes selected at random) and reuse this source port for all outgoing queries. In some implementations, the source port for outgoing queries is fixed at the traditional assigned DNS server port number, 53/udp.

Software Patches and Recommendation:
Susceptibility to the vulnerabilities has been removed and patches are available in the download area of our web site at http://www.funkwerk-ec.com. For security reasons it is recommended to update all affected FEC products with the appropriate software patch (see the following list for more details):

VPN Access Series: 7.4.1 PATCH 11
X8500            : 7.4.1 PATCH 11
R200 Series      : 7.6.1 PATCH 2
R1200            : 7.6.1 PATCH 2
R3x00 Series     : 7.6.1 PATCH 2
R4x00 Series     : 7.6.1 PATCH 2
TR200            : 7.6.1 PATCH 2
Wx002 Series     : 7.6.1 PATCH 2
WI Series        : 7.6.1 PATCH 2

To determine the software version running on a FEC router, log in to the device and issue the command "show rev". For products offering the Funkwerk Configuration Interface, point your browser at the IP address of your FEC product. You can find the version information on the status page. This will display the current software version running on the  system (see row denoted with Boss). A description how to update a FEC router can be found within the product documentation (see chapter Gateway Management). If you want to update  your software, make sure you read the relevant Release Notes. They describe all changes  introduced with the new system software.

Vendor Statement

ISC is providing patches for BIND 9.3, 9.4 and 9.5 (tagged -P1) that
implement measures to enhance resilience against this sort of attack.
BIND accomplishes this by including the use of the source port queries
as additional information that would need to be predicted by a
successful attack.

ISC is also making beta releases, BIND 9.5.1b1 and 9.4.3b2 available
for download and testing.  These beta releases provide the same
improved resiliency as the patches but with better performance for
servers with query volumes at or above 10,000 queries per second.
They are however betas, not fully tested production releases. The
patches,(P1 versions), are fully tested today and released for
production use.  Older versions of BIND 9 and BIND 8 will not be
patched as they are EOL.

ISC notes that even with these measures, the nature of the DNS
protocol is such that attacks of this nature may still succeed. The
only solution to fully counter this sort of attack is to deploy DNSSEC
in DNS zones and enable DNSSEC validation in the resolvers.

Nixu NameSurfer Suite
---------------------
The proprietary primary DNS server included in Nixu NameSurfer Suite IS NOT affected by this vulnerability. Secure64 DNS and/or NSD servers run as DNS secondaries to Nixu NameSurfer Suite ARE NOT affected. BIND servers run as DNS secondaries to Nixu NameSurfer Suite are affected ONLY if recursion has been enabled in them.

For users that have enabled recursion on BIND servers run as DNS secondaries to Nixu NameSurfer primary, we recommend that BIND servers are updated to the latest version.

Nixu SNS (Secure Name Server)
-----------------------------
The BIND version included in Nixu SNS was affected by this vulnerability if recursion was enabled. To address this issue, all users running Nixu SNS in which automated software updates have been enabled, have received a patched version of BIND (9.2.4-28.0.1.el4) on July 9 2008 by 7am GMT/2am EST that addresses the vulnerability announced in VU#800113 advisory.

Openwall GNU/*/Linux (Owl) 2.0-stable and current used versions of BIND
that did not randomize query source port numbers.  This has been
corrected by updating to BIND 9.3.5-P1 in Owl-current on July 8th and in
Owl 2.0-stable on July 11th, 2008.  Query IDs were already being
randomized by versions of BIND in supported branches of Owl.

Additionally, the DNS resolver in our revision of the GNU C Library
(glibc) had been modified to randomize query IDs in year 2000, before
Owl was first made available to the general public.  However, it was
not, and it still has not been, modified to randomize source ports as
well.  With these issues getting more attention lately, this is being
considered as a higher priority task now.

Also relevant is the fact that running our "userland" with a recent
Linux kernel (2.6.24 or newer) introduces randomization of source port
numbers for UDP-based queries, although added security of this setup has
not been fully evaluated (specifically, whether new port numbers are
allocated for every query in all cases and whether the produced sequence
of random port numbers is sufficiently cryptographically secure).

SUSE Linux products include bind, powerdns-recursor and dnsmasq

and we posted the SUSE-SA:2008:033 advisory to:
http://www.novell.com/linux/security/advisories/2008_33_bind.html

The last powerdns-recursor security update from May also added
random UDP source-ports which should make it not vulnerable to the
new attack Dan Kaminsky found.

The DNS forwarder dnsmasq does not emit recursive queries and
is therefore not vulnerable as far as we know. Additionally
dnsmasq will be fixed to use a CPRNG for generating the TRXID
