NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bind package and not the bind package as distributed by Alpine.
See How to fix? for Alpine:3.11 relevant fixed versions and status.
An error in zone database reference counting can lead to an assertion failure if a server which is running an affected version of BIND attempts several transfers of a slave zone in quick succession. This defect could be deliberately exercised by an attacker who is permitted to cause a vulnerable server to initiate zone transfers (for example: by sending valid NOTIFY messages), causing the named process to exit after failing the assertion test. Affects BIND 9.12.0 and 9.12.1.
