Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) BIND 9.6.0 and earlier does not properly check the return value from the OpenSSL EVP_VerifyFinal function, which allows remote attackers to bypass validation of the certificate chain via a malformed SSL/TLS signature, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2008-5077 and CVE-2009-0025.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older ISC BIND versions could incorrectly accept a malformed SSL/TLS signature as valid. In business terms, a system relying on affected BIND certificate-chain validation could trust something it should reject. The source bundle does not provide CVSS scoring or confirmed exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy systems still running ISC BIND 9.6.0 or earlier. Modern supported BIND deployments are less likely exposed, but the bundle does not enumerate fixed versions or downstream package status. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless affected BIND is still internet-facing or part of a trust-sensitive path. Lack of CVSS and KEV evidence lowers urgency, but obsolete DNS software should not remain in production. Mitigation focus: Inventory DNS infrastructure for ISC BIND 9.6.0 or earlier.; Check ISC and operating-system vendor advisories for fixed package guidance.; Upgrade affected BIND packages using supported vendor channels..
