A kernel extension call is exported to user space without proper sanity checks causing a system crash.

Adding records to BIND with zero length rdata fields could result in memory disclosure to client, data corruption or system crash.

When socketpair calls are used on the system we could see a crash in socket code path due to the fact that one of the socket is in the free list.

AIX could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by an error in the getpwnam() function when customer extended LDAP user filtering is configured. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain lateral or elevated privileges on the system.

An as-yet unidentified network event caused BIND 9 resolvers to cache an invalid record, subsequent queries for which could crash the resolvers with an assertion failure.

Furthermore, AIX BIND 9.4.1 is affected by the following three security vulnerabilities: CVE-2010-0382 - ISC BIND Out-Of-Bailwick Data Handling Error CVE-2010-0097 - ISC BIND Improper DNSSEC NSEC and NSEC3 Record CVE-2009-0025 - BIND OpenSSL DSA_do_verify and EVP_VerifyFinal.

Some WPAR specific system calls may cause undefined behavior, possibly resulting in a denial of service.

The security status of an NS RRset is not properly determined during a DNSKEY algorithm rollover which can allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

Signed negative responses and corresponding RRSIG records in the cache are not properly handled which can allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
