FreeBSD Security Advisory - BIND 9 Incorrect Handling

Posted Jun 12, 2012

Authored by Dan Luther, Jeffrey A. Spain | Site security.freebsd.org

FreeBSD Security Advisory - The named(8) server does not properly handle DNS resource records where the RDATA field is zero length, which may cause various issues for the servers handling them. Resolving servers may crash or disclose some portion of memory to the client. Authoritative servers may crash on restart after transferring a zone containing records with zero-length RDATA fields. These would result in a denial of service, or leak of sensitive information.
