2) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU32395
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

3) Assertion failure
EUVDB-ID: #VU3848
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2015-8000
CWE-ID:
CWE-617 - Reachable Assertion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionA remote attacker can trigger denial of service (DoS) conditions.
The vulnerability exists due to a parsing error when processing incoming responses within db.c file. A remote attacker who can cause a server to request a record with a malformed class attribute can use this bug to trigger a REQUIRE assertion, causing named to exit and denying service to clients.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Update the affected packages.
