Descriptions

ISC BIND 9.x before 9.9.9-P2, 9.10.x before 9.10.4-P2, and 9.11.x before 9.11.0b2, when lwresd or the named lwres option is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a long request that uses the lightweight resolver protocol.

ISC BIND 9.x en versiones anteriores a 9.9.9-P2, 9.10.x en versiones anteriores a 9.10.4-P2 y 9.11.x en versiones anteriores a 9.11.0b2, cuando lwresd o la opción nombrada lwres está habilitada, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída del demonio) a través de una petición larga que utiliza el protocolo ligero de resolución.

It was found that the lightweight resolver protocol implementation in BIND could enter an infinite recursion and crash when asked to resolve a query name which, when combined with a search list entry, exceeds the maximum allowable length. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash lwresd or named when using the "lwres" statement in named.conf.
