It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled limiting the number of simultaneous TCP clients. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to consume resources, leading to 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.
