Critical: bind

Issue Overview:

As reported upstream (https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01272/0), an error in the handling of TKEY queries can be exploited by an attacker for use as a denial-of-service vector, as a constructed packet can use the defect to trigger a REQUIRE assertion failure, causing BIND to exit.

Affected Packages:

bind

Issue Correction:
Run yum update bind to update your system.
