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).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2002-1146 is an old DNS resolver library flaw that can crash affected software when it processes a crafted DNS response. The main business impact is denial of service on legacy systems. It matters most where outdated BIND, glibc, libc, or libresolv components remain in production. Exposure is most likely in very old Unix/Linux environments or embedded/legacy appliances using affected resolver libraries. Modern maintained distributions are less likely exposed if historical vendor security updates were applied. Prioritize if legacy Unix/Linux systems support critical services or cannot tolerate crashes. For fully patched, supported environments, urgency is lower. The key action is confirming no obsolete resolver libraries remain in production. Mitigation focus: Identify systems using BIND 4, BIND 8.2.x, glibc 2.2.5 or earlier, libc, or libresolv.; Apply relevant vendor security updates from Red Hat, NetBSD, Conectiva, Mandrake, or current vendor guidance.; Retire or isolate unsupported legacy systems that cannot receive resolver library updates..
