Two vulnerabilities were reported in BIND, a DNS server.

  • CVE-2016-2775
    The lwresd component in BIND (which is not enabled by default)
    could crash while processing an overlong request name. This could
    lead to a denial of service.
  • CVE-2016-2776
    A crafted query could crash the BIND name server daemon, leading
    to a denial of service. All server roles (authoritative,
    recursive and forwarding) in default configurations are
    affected.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages.
