The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain Name
System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named); a resolver library
(routines for applications to use 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 packets with
    malformed options. A remote attacker could use this flaw to make named exit
    unexpectedly with an assertion failure via a specially crafted DNS packet.
    (CVE-2016-2848)
