NVD Description

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

name.c in named in ISC BIND 9.7.x through 9.9.x before 9.9.7-P1 and 9.10.x before 9.10.2-P2, when configured as a recursive resolver with DNSSEC validation, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (REQUIRE assertion failure and daemon exit) by constructing crafted zone data and then making a query for a name in that zone.
