vulnerability.");

"According to its self-reported version, the instance of ISC BIND 9
running on the remote name server is 
9.10.5-S1 to 9.10.5-S4, 9.10.6-S1 or 9.10.6-S2.  It is, therefore, 
affected by an assertion failure vulnerability which exists in 
badcache.c due to selecting a SERVFAIL rcode instead of a FORMERR 
rcode.  An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to cause an 
assertion failure when the request doesn't contain all the expected 
information.");
