How to fix?

Upgrade bind to version 9.2.6, 9.3.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). BIND before 9.2.6-P1 and 9.3.x before 9.3.2-P1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a flood of recursive queries, which cause an INSIST failure when the response is received after the recursion queue is empty.
