Synopsis

The remote name server may be affected by a DNS integrity vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the remote installation of BIND will continue to allow revoked domain names to be resolved due to an issue related to the cache update policy. Note that Nessus has only relied on the version itself and has not attempted to determine whether or not the install is actually affected.
