Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in BIND, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the validator within the "authvalidated()" function and may result in an internal consistency test failing when processing a specially crafted DNS datagram.

Successful exploitation causes named to exit, but requires that DNSSEC validation is enabled (not default setting).

The vulnerability affects BIND 9.3.0.
