Matthew Horsfall discovered that Bind incorrectly handled regular expression checking. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause Bind to consume an excessive amount of memory, possibly resulting in a denial of service. This issue was corrected by disabling RDATA regular expression syntax checking.
