What is CVE-2019-6467?

A programming error in the nxdomain-redirect feature can cause an assertion failure in query.c if the alternate namespace used by nxdomain-redirect is a descendant of a zone that is served locally. The most likely scenario where this might occur is if the server, in addition to performing NXDOMAIN redirection for recursive clients, is also serving a local copy of the root zone or using mirroring to provide the root zone, although other configurations are also possible. Versions affected: BIND 9.12.0-> 9.12.4, 9.14.0. Also affects all releases in the 9.13 development branch.

Human OS v1.0:
Ageing Is an Unpatched Zero-Day Vulnerability.

Remediate biological technical debt. Prime Ageing uses 95% high-purity SIRT6 activation to maintain genomic integrity and bolster systemic resilience.

Affected Version(s)

BIND 9 BIND 9.12.0-> 9.12.4, 9.14.0. Also affects all releases in the 9.13 development branch.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
