The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind97' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND handles responses containing a DNAME answer.Remote attacker could use this flaw to make named exit unexpectedly with an assertion failure via a specially crafted DNS response

Security Fix(es):

  * A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND handled responses
containing a DNAME answer. A remote attacker could use this flaw to make
named exit unexpectedly with an assertion failure via a specially crafted
DNS response. (CVE-2016-8864)
