Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update for bind fixes the following issues :

- Fix BIND to return a valid hostname in response to ldapdump queries. (bsc#965748)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
