Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'bind9' package(s) announced via the DLA-270-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A vulnerability has been found in the Internet Domain Name Server bind9:

CVE-2015-4620

Breno Silveira Soares of Servico Federal de Processamento de Dados (SERPRO) discovered that the BIND DNS server is prone to a denial of service vulnerability. A remote attacker who can cause a validating resolver to query a zone containing specifically constructed contents can cause the resolver to terminate with an assertion failure, resulting in a denial of service to clients relying on the resolver.

For the squeeze distribution, these issues have been fixed in version 9.7.3.dfsg-1~
squeeze15 of bind9.

We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'bind9' package(s) on Debian 6.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.8
