CVE-2025-40776 | BDVDB-2026-286402 Detail
ISCBIND 9
Description#
A `named` caching resolver that is configured to send ECS (EDNS Client Subnet) options may be vulnerable to a cache-poisoning attack. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.3-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.37-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.10-S1.
Impact#
A resolver configured to send ECS options to authoritative servers can be compelled to make queries that slightly increase the odds of guessing the source port and other details necessary to bypass the original birthday cache poisoning attack mitigations. As a result of this weakness, a resolver with ECS enabled is more vulnerable to successful cache poisoning via spoofed query responses than one that does not implement this feature.
