The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated user to cause DoS conditions on the target system.
The weakness is due to imptoper input validation. By returning a recursive response containing a specially crafted DNAME answer, a remote attacker can trigger a flaw in 'db.c' or 'resolver.c' and cause the target resolver to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service on the vulnerable system.

Update to version 9.9.9-P4, 9.10.4-P4, 9.11.0-P1.
