Vulnerability Insight:
The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is
an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS

interfacing with DNS) and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating
correctly.

containing a DNAME answer. A remote attacker could use this flaw to make

DNS response. (CVE-2016-8864)
