Security Advisory Description

ISC BIND 9.0.x through 9.8.x, 9.9.0 through 9.9.6, and 9.10.0 through 9.10.1 does not limit delegation chaining, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and named crash) via a large or infinite number of referrals. (CVE-2014-8500)

Impact

This behavior may lead to resource exhaustion and denial-of-service (up to and including termination of the namedserver process.) All recursive resolvers are affected. Authoritative servers may be affected if an attacker can control a delegation traversed by the authoritative server in servicing the zone.

Important: Recursion is not enabled by default for BIG-IP modules.
