| 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 an attacker sends a specially crafted request to a BIND server it may cause the name server process to crash.
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote DNS server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
