The vulnerability of the DNS BIND server arises from buffer overflows in the stack when BIND operates as a resolver. This allows attackers to cause a service failure.

The vulnerability of the BIND DNS server is related to the overflow of the buffer in the stack when BIND operates as a resolver. This occurs when the number of recursive requests reaches an acceptable maximum, and the server’s settings allow it to return previously cached responses. Exploiting th...
