| Detailed Description |
According to its self-reported version number, the remote installation of BIND is potentially affected by a denial of service vulnerability. This issue only affects BIND installs that use the RPZ feature configured for RRset replacement. When RPZ is being used, a query of type RRSIG for a name configured for RRset replacement will trigger an assertion failure and cause the name server process to exit.
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote DNS server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
