Description: Some vulnerabilities have been reported in ISC BIND, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). 1) An unspecified error may cause the named daemon to dereference a freed fetch context. Successful exploitation crashes the named daemon. 2) It is possible to trigger assertion checks when validating responses to type ANY queries with multiple RRsets. Successful exploitation requires that DNSSEC validation is enabled by specifying trusted-keys in the named.conf file. Solution: Update to version 9.2.8 or 9.3.4.
