| 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 version number, BIND version 9.10.x prior to 9.10.3-P3 are affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- A denial of service vulnerability exists due to improper handling of certain string formatting options. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a malformed Address Prefix List (APL) record, to cause an INSIST assertion failure and daemon exist. (CVE-2015-8704)
- A denial of service vulnerability exists due to a failure to properly convert OPT records and ECS options to formatted text. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a REQUIRE assertion failure and daemon exit. (CVE-2015-8705)
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote DNS server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
