SUSE SLES12 Security Update : bind (SUSE-SU-2017:0113-1)
Medium Nessus Plugin ID 96435
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]
- Fixed ldapdump to use a temporary pseudo nameserver that conforms to BIND's expected syntax. Prior versions would not work correctly with an LDAP backed DNS server.
