AIX 'named' is an implementation of BIND (Berkeley Internet Name
Domain) providing server functionality for the Domain Name System
(DNS) Protocol. AIX currently ships and supports three versions of
BIND: 4, 8, and 9.

There is an error in the handling of dynamic update messages in BIND
9. A crafted update packet from a remote user can cause a master
server to assert and exit. The successful exploitation of this
vulnerability allows a remote, unauthenticated user to make a master
DNS server assert and exit.

/usr/sbin/named9."
