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

 - DNAME records, described in RFC 6672, provide a way to redirect a subtree
 of the domain name tree in the DNS.  A flaw in the way named processes these
 records may trigger an attempt to add the same RRset to the ANSWER section
 more than once.  When a vulnerable version of named receives a query for a
 record triggering the flaw, the named process will terminate due to a failed
 assertion check.

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