CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA vulnerability in the `named` component of BIND allows an attacker-controlled authoritative server to exploit a flaw that results in a negative cache entry of 0 bytes when a specific negative answer of 65536 bytes is produced. This can lead to an unexpected abort of the `named` service, potentially disrupting DNS resolution. Organizations using affected versions of BIND 9 should prioritize patching to mitigate this high-severity risk.
Original NVD Description
If an attacker-controlled authoritative server can produce a negative answer that is exactly 65536 bytes, then a flaw in `named` results in a negative cache entry of 0 bytes. When this entry is subsequently read, `named` aborts. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.27, 9.21.0 through 9.21.25, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.27-S1.
