Possible Denial Of Service using DNS
by |scacco| <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
---[ Systems affected ]-------------------------------------------------------
All systems running Bind (All versions seems affected).
---[ Condition of discovery ]-------------------------------------------------
This misfeature was discovered configuring bind on a Red Hat 5.2 system
shipped with the original cdrom, allowing udp dns requests and without
access lists.
---[ Detailed description ]---------------------------------------------------
All domain name systems resides on port 53 formely called domain. Looking at
rfc and in particular at RedHat system defaults seems that port 53 is enabled
to support udp and tcp requests as specified in /etc/services file:
domain 53/tcp
domain 53/udp
It's possible to flood someone sending spoofed UDP QUERY to the DNS,
because UDP doesn't provide a fruitful authentication process.
Why use DNS QUERY? Simple. We just want to make sure we've got a real advantage
against our nice target so we look for a good I/O ratio. With just a few bytes
(20-30) we can achieve responses of around 400-500 bytes. So we usually
achieve a 20x ratio. Furthemore, every DNS reply will eligit ICMP unreach
packets from the target since no UDP port will be open to accept data.
A modem user compared with large RR of type * (0xFF) will be flooded.
*
---[ Exploitation ]-----------------------------------------------------------
/******************************************************************
* *
* DOOMDNS Yet another flooder with 1:x pkts ratio. This one *
* exploits DNS simple QUERY with spoofed UDPs. *
* Since almost every DNS is bound to answer queries *
* from the void, and since UDP doesn't provide a *
* fruitful authentication process cause plain TCP *
* does, uh !? ;) here we are. *

---[Possible fixes ]----------------------------------------------------------
Seems hard to fix this hole due to dns protocol specification, it could be
possible to setup access lists or some sort of packet sanity check, for this
we want suggest you to keep in contact with ISC staff to get a more efficent
solution for this problem.
