CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2016:0073

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.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND processed certain
malformed Address Prefix List (APL) records. A remote, authenticated
attacker could use this flaw to cause named to crash. (CVE-2015-8704)

Red Hat would like to thank ISC for reporting this issue.

All bind users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the
update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted automatically.
