Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND)
is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a
DNS server (named) a resolver library (routines for applications to use when
interfacing with DNS) and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating
correctly.

Security Fix(es):

* A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND handled a query
response containing inconsistent DNSSEC information. A remote attacker
could use this flaw to make named exit unexpectedly with an assertion
failure via a specially crafted DNS response. (CVE-2016-9147)

Red Hat would like to thank ISC for reporting this issue.

Affected Software/OS:
bind on
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server),
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6),
