Since each incoming control channel message is fully parsed before its contents are authenticated, exploiting this flaw does not require the attacker to hold a valid RNDC key;Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

- The code that processes control channel messages sent to `named` calls certain functions recursively
during packet parsing. Recursion depth is only limited by the maximum accepted packet size; depending on
the environment, this may cause the packet-parsing code to run out of available stack memory, causing
`named` to terminate unexpectedly. Since each incoming control channel message is fully parsed before its
contents are authenticated, exploiting this flaw does not require the attacker to hold a valid RNDC key;
only network access to the control channel's configured TCP port is necessary. This issue affects BIND 9
