CVE-2012-1033
Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—
The resolver in ISC BIND 9 through 9.8.1-P1 overwrites cached server names and TTL values in NS records during the processing of a response to an A record query, which allows remote attackers to trigger continued resolvability of revoked domain names via a "ghost domain names" attack.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
- Base score: 5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 13%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 96
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
