Description: | Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'bind9' package(s) announced via the DSA-2656-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Matthew Horsfall of Dyn, Inc. discovered that BIND, a DNS server, is prone to a denial of service vulnerability. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a specially-crafted DNS query to named that, when processed, would cause named to use an excessive amount of memory, or possibly crash.
