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.

malformed Address Prefix List (APL) records. A remote, authenticated
attacker could use this flaw to cause named to crash. (CVE-2015-8704)

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

All bind users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the
update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted automatically.
