"The version of ISC BIND installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the cve-2022-3094 advisory.

  - Sending a flood of dynamic DNS updates may cause `named` to allocate large amounts of memory. This, in
    turn, may cause `named` to exit due to a lack of free memory. We are not aware of any cases where this has
    been exploited. Memory is allocated prior to the checking of access permissions (ACLs) and is retained
    during the processing of a dynamic update from a client whose access credentials are accepted. Memory
    allocated to clients that are not permitted to send updates is released immediately upon rejection. The
    scope of this vulnerability is limited therefore to trusted clients who are permitted to make dynamic zone
    changes. If a dynamic update is REFUSED, memory will be released again very quickly. Therefore it is only
    likely to be possible to degrade or stop `named` by sending a flood of unaccepted dynamic updates
    comparable in magnitude to a query flood intended to achieve the same detrimental outcome. BIND 9.11 and
    earlier branches are also affected, but through exhaustion of internal resources rather than memory
    constraints. This may reduce performance but should not be a significant problem for most servers.
    Therefore we don't intend to address this for BIND versions prior to BIND 9.16. This issue affects BIND 9
    versions 9.16.0 through 9.16.36, 9.18.0 through 9.18.10, 9.19.0 through 9.19.8, and 9.16.8-S1 through
    9.16.36-S1. (CVE-2022-3094)

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