Module sends malformed TKEY query to exploit vulnerability in BIND9 'named' DNS servers, causing server to exit with REQUIRE assertion failure. Affects BIND 9.1.0 - 9.8.x, 9.9.0 - 9.9.7-P1, and 9.10.0 - 9.10.2-P2

'Description' => %q{  
This module sends a malformed TKEY query, which exploits an  
error in handling TKEY queries on affected BIND9 'named' DNS servers.  
As a result, a vulnerable named server will exit with a REQUIRE  
assertion failure. This condition can be exploited in versions of BIND  
between BIND 9.1.0 through 9.8.x, 9.9.0 through 9.9.7-P1 and 9.10.0  
through 9.10.2-P2.
