Scientific Linux Security Update : bind on SL5.x i386/x86_64
High Nessus Plugin ID 85786
Synopsis
The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.
Description
A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND parsed certain malformed DNSSEC keys. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a specially crafted DNS query (for example, a query requiring a response from a zone containing a deliberately malformed key) that would cause named functioning as a validating resolver to crash. (CVE-2015-5722)
After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted automatically.
Solution
Update the affected packages.
