Clément Berthaux from Synaktiv discovered two vulnerabilities in BIND, a DNS server implementation

Summary

CVE-2017-3142

An attacker who is able to send and receive messages to an authoritative
DNS server and who has knowledge of a valid TSIG key name may be able to
circumvent TSIG authentication of AXFR requests via a carefully constructed
request packet. A server that relies solely on TSIG keys for protection
with no other ACL protection could be manipulated into:
- providing an AXFR of a zone to an unauthorized recipient
- accepting bogus NOTIFY packets

CVE-2017-3143

An attacker who is able to send and receive messages to an authoritative
DNS server and who has knowledge of a valid TSIG key name for the zone and

unauthorized dynamic update.

For the oldstable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed
in version 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u12.

For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in
version 1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-12.4.
