There is no fixed version for Centos:6 bind-libs.

NVD Description

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

The Closest Encloser Proof aspect of the DNS protocol (in RFC 5155 when RFC 9276 guidance is skipped) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption for SHA-1 computations) via DNSSEC responses in a random subdomain attack, aka the "NSEC3" issue. The RFC 5155 specification implies that an algorithm must perform thousands of iterations of a hash function in certain situations.
