A vulnerability has been found in the Internet Domain Name Server bind9 :
CVE-2015-4620
Breno Silveira Soares of Servico Federal de Processamento de Dados (SERPRO) discovered that the BIND DNS server is prone to a denial of service vulnerability. A remote attacker who can cause a validating resolver to query a zone containing specifically constructed contents can cause the resolver to terminate with an assertion failure, resulting in a denial of service to clients relying on the resolver.
For the squeeze distribution, these issues have been fixed in version 9.7.3.dfsg-1~squeeze15 of bind9.
We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages.
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
