CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2016:2142

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 responses
    containing a DNAME answer. A remote attacker could use this flaw to make named
    exit unexpectedly with an assertion failure via a specially crafted DNS
    response. (CVE-2016-8864)

Red Hat would like to thank ISC for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges
Tony Finch (University of Cambridge) and Marco Davids (SIDN Labs) as the
original reporters.
