Descriptions

BIND before 9.2.6-P1 and 9.3.x before 9.3.2-P1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a flood of recursive queries, which cause an INSIST failure when the response is received after the recursion queue is empty.

BIND anterior a 9.2.6-P1 y 9.3.x anterior a 9.3.2-P1 permite a un atacante remoto provocar denegación de servicio (caida) a través de una inundación de preguntas recurrentes, que causan una fallo de INSIST cuando se recibe la respuesta después de que la cola recursiva esté vacía.

Potential security vulnerabilities have been identified with the TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS BIND 9 Resolver. These vulnerabilities could be remotely exploited to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) and other vulnerabilities. NOTE: These vulnerabilities impact OpenVMS TCP/IP BIND servers only. No update is required for BIND clients. Revision 2 of this advisory.
