  An off-by-one flaw was found in the way BIND processed negative responses
  with large resource record sets (RRSets). An attacker able to send
  recursive queries to a BIND server that is configured as a caching
  resolver could use this flaw to cause named to exit with an assertion
  failure. (CVE-2011-1910)

  All BIND users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
  resolve this issue. After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named)
