is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes

when interfacing with DNS) and tools for verifying that the DNS server is
operating correctly.
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)
Red Hat would like to thank ISC for reporting this issue. Upstream
acknowledges Tony Finch (University of Cambridge) and Marco Davids (SIDN
Labs) as the original reporters.");
