Synopsis
========
A vulnerability in BIND might allow remote attackers to cause a Denial
of Service condition.
Background
==========
BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is a Name Server.
Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 net-dns/bind < 9.10.4_p4 >= 9.10.4_p4
Description
===========
A defect in BIND’s handling of responses containing a DNAME answer can
cause a resolver to exit after encountering an assertion failure in
db.c or resolver.c.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted DNS request to the
BIND resolver possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All BIND users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=net-dns/bind-9.10.4_p4”
