The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'pdns-recursor' package(s) announced via the DSA-3307-1 advisory. Toshifumi Sakaguchi discovered that the patch applied to pdns-recursor, a recursive DNS server, fixing CVE-2015-1868, was insufficient in some cases, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (service-affecting CPU spikes and in some cases a crash). For Debian 8, upgrade pdns-recursor packages
