NVD Description

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

The GeoIP functionality in ISC BIND 9.10.0 through 9.10.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and named exit) via vectors related to (1) the lack of GeoIP databases for both IPv4 and IPv6, or (2) IPv6 support with certain options.
