Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update for bind fixes the following issues :

- Fix a potential assertion failure that could have been triggered by a malformed response to an ANY query, thereby facilitating a denial-of-service attack.
[CVE-2016-9131, bsc#1018700, bsc#1018699]

- Fix a potential assertion failure that could have been triggered by responding to a query with inconsistent DNSSEC information, thereby facilitating a denial-of-service attack. [CVE-2016-9147, bsc#1018701, bsc#1018699]

- Fix potential assertion failure that could have been triggered by DNS responses that contain unusually-formed DS resource records, facilitating a denial-of-service attack. [CVE-2016-9444, bsc#1018702, bsc#1018699]

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
