CVE-2022-2906: Memory leaks in code handling Diffie-Hellman key exchange via TKEY RRs (OpenSSL 3.0.0+ only)

An attacker can leverage this flaw to gradually erode available memory to the point where named crashes for lack of resources. Upon restart the attacker would have to begin again, but nevertheless there is the potential to deny service.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can let a remote, unauthenticated attacker drain memory from affected BIND named services until the DNS process crashes. The impact is service availability, not data theft or system takeover. The attacker must restart the pressure after named restarts, but repeated outages can still disrupt DNS-dependent business services. Exposure is most likely where organizations run affected ISC BIND 9.18 or 9.19 named servers, especially internet-reachable authoritative or recursive DNS services built with OpenSSL 3.0.0 or later. Treat as a high-priority availability fix for DNS infrastructure. Prioritize externally reachable and business-critical DNS servers because successful exploitation can interrupt name resolution and dependent applications without needing credentials. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected BIND 9.18 deployments to 9.18.7 or later.; Upgrade affected BIND 9.19 development deployments to 9.19.5 or later.; Confirm whether named is built or linked with OpenSSL 3.0.0 or later..

Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime

Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
