{"id":"ALPINE-CVE-2022-3924","details":"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.\n\nIf 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.\nThis 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.","modified":"2026-08-27T22:17:55.736520674Z","published":"2023-01-26T21:16:03.273Z","upstream":["CVE-2022-3924"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.alpinelinux.org/vuln/CVE-2022-3924"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"bind","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.14","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/bind?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"9.16.12"},{"fixed":"9.16.37-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-3924.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bind","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.15","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/bind?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"9.16.12"},{"fixed":"9.16.37-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-3924.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bind","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.16","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/bind?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"9.16.12"},{"fixed":"9.16.37-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-3924.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bind","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.17","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/bind?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"9.16.12"},{"fixed":"9.18.11-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-3924.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bind","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.18","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/bind?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"9.16.12"},{"fixed":"9.18.11-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-3924.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bind","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.19","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/bind?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"9.16.12"},{"fixed":"9.18.11-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-3924.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bind","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.20","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/bind?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"9.16.12"},{"fixed":"9.18.11-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-3924.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bind","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.21","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/bind?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"9.16.12"},{"fixed":"9.18.11-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-3924.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bind","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.22","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/bind?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"9.16.12"},{"fixed":"9.18.11-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-3924.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bind","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.23","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/bind?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"9.16.12"},{"fixed":"9.18.11-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-3924.json"}},{"package":{"name":"bind","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.24","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/bind?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"9.16.12"},{"fixed":"9.18.11-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-3924.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
