Einar Lonn discovered that Bind incorrectly initialized the failing-query cache. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
