Detail

A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in bind:

High numbers of queries with DNSSEC validation enabled can cause an assertion failure in named, caused by using a bad cache data structure before it has been initialized (CVE-2012-3817).

The updated packages have been upgraded to bind 9.7.6-P2 and 9.8.3-P2 which is not vulnerable to this issue.
