The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:1095 advisory.

    The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols.
    BIND includes a DNS server (named); a resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing     with DNS); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly.

    Security Fix(es):

    * A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND handled a query response containing CNAME or DNAME     resource records in an unusual order. A remote attacker could use this flaw to make named exit     unexpectedly with an assertion failure via a specially crafted DNS response. (CVE-2017-3137)

    * A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND handled query requests when using DNS64 with break-     dnssec yes option. A remote attacker could use this flaw to make named exit unexpectedly with an     assertion failure via a specially crafted DNS request. (CVE-2017-3136)

    Red Hat would like to thank ISC for reporting these issues. Upstream acknowledges Oleg Gorokhov (Yandex)     as the original reporter of CVE-2017-3136.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
