NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bind-license package and not the bind-license package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

ISC BIND 9.0.x through 9.8.x, 9.9.0 through 9.9.6, and 9.10.0 through 9.10.1 does not limit delegation chaining, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and named crash) via a large or infinite number of referrals.
