Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind' package(s) announced via the SSA:2016-308-02 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New bind packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/bind-9.10.4_P4-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a denial-of-service vulnerability. A defect in BIND's handling of responses containing a DNAME answer can cause a resolver to exit after encountering an assertion failure in db.c or resolver.c. A server encountering either of these error conditions will stop, resulting in denial of service to clients. The risk to authoritative servers is minimal, recursive servers are chiefly at risk.

Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
