| Detailed Description |
ISC BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Daemon) is a server utility that implements the DNS (domain name service) protocol. It is widely used on the Internet.
According to its self-reported version number, the remote installation of BIND is potentially affected by a denial of service vulnerability. If BIND queries a domain with large RRSIG resource record sets it may trigger an assertion failure and cause the name server process to crash due to an off-by-one error in a buffer size check.
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote DNS server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
