high Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 6093

Synopsis

The remote DNS server is vulnerable to a denial of service attack.

Description

The remote host is running Bind, a popular name server.

Versions of BIND 9.4-ESV earlier than 9.4-ESV-R5-P1, 9.6-ESV earlier than 9.6-ESV-R5-P1, 9.7.x earlier than 9.7.4-P1, and 9.8.x earlier than 9.8.1-P1 are potentially affected by a denial of service vulnerability. An unidentified network event causes BIND9 resolvers to cache an invalid record, subsequent queries for which could crash the resolvers with an assertion failure.
