Issue date: 2016-11-02

CVE Names: CVE-2016-8864

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

An update for bind97 is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact

of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,

which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability

from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain

Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named); a resolver

library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS); and

tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly.

 

Security Fix(es):

 

* A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND handled responses

containing a DNAME answer. A remote attacker could use this flaw to make

named exit unexpectedly with an assertion failure via a specially crafted

DNS response. (CVE-2016-8864)

 

Red Hat would like to thank ISC for reporting this issue. Upstream

acknowledges Tony Finch (University of Cambridge) and Marco Davids (SIDN

Labs) as the original reporters.

described in this advisory, refer to:

 

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

 

After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted

automatically.
