This issue can affect BIND 9 resolvers with stale-answer-enable yes; that also make use of the option stale-answer-client-timeout, configured with a value greater than zero.
If the resolver receives many queries that require recursion, there will be a corresponding increase in the number of clients that are waiting for recursion to complete. If there are sufficient clients already waiting when a new client query is received so that it is necessary to SERVFAIL the longest waiting client (see BIND 9 ARM recursive-clients limit and soft quota), then it is possible for a race to occur between providing a stale answer to this older client and sending an early timeout SERVFAIL, which may cause an assertion failure.
This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.16.12 through 9.16.36, 9.18.0 through 9.18.10, 9.19.0 through 9.19.8, and 9.16.12-S1 through 9.16.36-S1.
A flaw was found in Bind. When resolver receives many queries requiring recursion, there will be a corresponding increase in the number of clients waiting for recursion to complete. This may, under certain conditions, lead to an assertion failure and a denial of service.
Отчет
The flaw exists in the implementation of the stale-answer-client-timeout option, which was first effectively introduced in BIND 9.16.12
Меры по смягчению последствий
Disabling stale-answer-client-timeout entirely or setting the timeout value to zero prevents the problem. It is not possible to disable the limit on recursive-clients, though it could be set to a very high value in order to reduce the likelihood of encountering this scenario. However, this is not recommended as the limit on recursive clients is important for preventing exhaustion of server resources.
