"The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.");
  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"The code that processes control channel messages sent to `named` calls
certain functions recursively during packet parsing. Recursion depth
is only limited by the maximum accepted packet size; depending on the
environment, this may cause the packet-parsing code to run out of
available stack memory, causing `named` to terminate unexpectedly.
Since each incoming control channel message is fully parsed before its
contents are authenticated, exploiting this flaw does not require the
attacker to hold a valid RNDC key; only network access to the control
channel's configured TCP port is necessary. This issue affects BIND 9
versions 9.2.0 through 9.16.43, 9.18.0 through 9.18.18, 9.19.0 through
9.19.16, 9.9.3-S1 through 9.16.43-S1, and 9.18.0-S1 through
9.18.18-S1.
