CVE-2017-3135: BIND may crash when using address translation and domain filters

CVE-2017-3135 · published 7 years ago
Summary

The BIND DNS server, in several recent versions, can experience a software error when both address‑translation (DNS64) and domain‑filtering (RPZ) features are used together. That error can cause the server to stop working or crash, interrupting name‑resolution for your network. Update BIND to a version that includes the fix, or disable one of those features until you can apply the update.
