NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bind-utils package and not the bind-utils package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

named in ISC BIND 9.x before 9.9.8-P4 and 9.10.x before 9.10.3-P4 does not properly handle DNAME records when parsing fetch reply messages, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a malformed packet to the rndc (aka control channel) interface, related to alist.c and sexpr.c.
