NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bind9 package and not the bind9 package as distributed by Debian.

Race condition in the ns_client structure management in ISC BIND 9.9.x before 9.9.1-P2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or process exit) via a large volume of TCP queries.
