CVE-2006-0987  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 bind9 to version 1:9.4.0-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bind9 package and not the bind9 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The default configuration of ISC BIND before 9.4.1-P1, when configured as a caching name server, allows recursive queries and provides additional delegation information to arbitrary IP addresses, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (traffic amplification) via DNS queries with spoofed source IP addresses.
