Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 24/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 8.9% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 95.3% of all records.
  • Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

The GeoIP functionality in ISC BIND 9.10.0 through 9.10.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and named exit) via vectors related to (1) the lack of GeoIP databases for both IPv4 and IPv6, or (2) IPv6 support with certain options.
