The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. A flaw was discovered in the way BIND handled certain DNS queries, which caused it to cache an invalid record. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send repeated queries for this invalid record, causing the resolvers to exit unexpectedly due to a failed assertion. Users of bind are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue. After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted automatically
