Re: On the impact of CVE-2013-2266 (BIND9)

[Jeff Wright <jwright () isc org>]

In response to comments on this list from Daniel Franke, describing a
possible exploitation scenario for the CVE-2013-2266 vulnerability, ISC
would like to point out that the vector identified by Mr. Franke is not
the only one possible, and that operators of *ANY* recursive *OR*
authoritative nameservers running an unpatched installation of an
affected version of BIND should consider themselves vulnerable to this
security issue.

We wish, however, to express agreement with the main point of Mr.
Franke's comment, which is that the required complexity of the exploit
for this vulnerability is not high, and immediate action is recommended
to ensure your nameservers are not at risk.
