Severity

Remote
+ Remote
Type
+ Denial of service
Description
+ A defect in BIND's handling of responses containing a DNAME answer can cause a resolver to exit after encountering an assertion failure in db.c or resolver.c
+
+ During processing of a recursive response that contains a DNAME record in the answer section, BIND can stop execution after encountering an assertion error in resolver.c (error message: "INSIST((valoptions & 0x0002U) != 0) failed") or db.c (error message: "REQUIRE(targetp != ((void *)0) && *targetp == ((void *)0)) failed").
+
+ A server encountering either of these error conditions will stop, resulting in denial of service to clients. The risk to authoritative servers is minimal; recursive servers are chiefly at risk.
