Summary:ISC BIND is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
ISC BIND is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
A flaw in the networking code handling DNS-over-TLS queries may
cause named to terminate unexpectedly due to an assertion failure. This happens when internal data
structures are incorrectly reused under significant DNS-over-TLS query load.

Vulnerability Impact:

unexpectedly when subjected to significant DNS-over-TLS query load.

This flaw does not affect DNS-over-HTTPS code, as that uses a different TLS implementation.

9.18.18-S1.

Solution:
