How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 bind-utils to version 32:9.8.2-0.47.rc1.el6_8.1 or higher.

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.

buffer.c in named in ISC BIND 9 before 9.9.9-P3, 9.10.x before 9.10.4-P3, and 9.11.x before 9.11.0rc3 does not properly construct responses, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a crafted query.
