Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Bind.

Software Description:

Details:

It was discovered that the resolver in Bind made incorrect
assumptions about ordering when processing responses containing
a CNAME or DNAME. An attacker could use this cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2017-3137)

Oleg Gorokhov discovered that in some situations, Bind did not properly
handle DNS64 queries. An attacker could use this to cause a denial
of service. (CVE-2017-3136)

not properly handle invalid operations requested via its control
channel. An attacker with access to the control channel could cause
a denial of service. (CVE-2017-3138)
