The BIND 4 and BIND 8.2.x stub resolver libraries, and other libraries such as glibc 2.2.5 and earlier, libc, and libresolv, use the maximum buffer size instead of the actual size when processing a DNS response, which causes the stub resolvers to read past the actual boundary ("read buffer overflow"), allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).

Buffer overflow in DNS resolver functions that perform lookup of network names and addresses, as used in BIND 4.9.8 and ported to glibc 2.2.5 and earlier, allows remote malicious DNS servers to execute arbitrary code through a subroutine used by functions such as getnetbyname and getnetbyaddr.

Buffer overflow in the DNS resolver code used in libc, glibc, and libbind, as derived from ISC BIND, allows remote malicious DNS servers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via the stub resolvers.

ISC BIND 9 before 9.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (shutdown) via a malformed DNS packet that triggers an error condition that is not properly handled when the rdataset parameter to the dns_message_findtype() function in message.c is not NULL, aka DoS_findtype.

Buffer overflow in bindsock in Lotus Domino 5.0.4 and 5.0.7 on Linux allows local users to gain root privileges via a long (1) Notes_ExecDirectory or (2) PATH environment variable.

bindsock in Lotus Domino 5.07 on Solaris allows local users to create arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

CGI.pl in Bugzilla before 2.14.1, when using LDAP, allows remote attackers to obtain an anonymous bind to the LDAP server via a request that does not include a password, which causes a null password to be sent to the LDAP server.

Cherokee web server before 0.2.7 does not properly drop root privileges after binding to port 80, which could allow remote attackers to gain privileges via other vulnerabilities.

Web-based configuration utility in Cisco 600 series routers running CBOS 2.0.1 through 2.4.2ap binds itself to port 80 even when web-based configuration services are disabled, which could leave the router open to attack.

dnskeygen in BIND 8.2.4 and earlier, and dnssec-keygen in BIND 9.1.2 and earlier, set insecure permissions for a HMAC-MD5 shared secret key file used for DNS Transactional Signatures (TSIG), which allows attackers to obtain the keys and perform dynamic DNS updates.

Buffer overflow in transaction signature (TSIG) handling code in BIND 8 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in nslookupComplain function in BIND 4 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

BIND 4 and BIND 8 allow remote attackers to access sensitive information such as environment variables.

Format string vulnerability in nslookupComplain function in BIND 4 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

named in BIND 8.2 through 8.2.2-P6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by making a compressed zone transfer (ZXFR) request and performing a name service query on an authoritative record that is not cached, aka the "zxfr bug."

named in BIND 8.2 through 8.2.2-P6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending an SRV record to the server, aka the "srv bug."

Buffer overflow in BIND 8.2 via NXT records.

Denial of service in BIND named via malformed SIG records.

Denial of service in BIND by improperly closing TCP sessions via so_linger.

Denial of service in BIND named via consuming more than "fdmax" file descriptors.
