"According to its self-reported version, the ISC Bind present on the remote
host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability:

- Incremental zone transfers (IXFR) provide a way of transferring changed
portion(s) of a zone between servers.  An IXFR stream containing SOA records
with an owner name other than the transferred zone's apex may cause the
receiving named server to inadvertently remove the SOA record for the zone in
question from the zone database.  When a vulnerable version of named receives
a malformed IXFR triggering the flaw, the named process will terminate due to
a failed assertion the next time the transferred secondary zone is refreshed.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on
the application's self-reported version number.");
