Summary

The named DNS server in ISC BIND 9 is affected, and a remote attacker can crash it by sending specially crafted TKEY queries, causing a denial of service when the daemon exits after an assertion failure. Systems relying on BIND for name resolution could lose DNS service until the server is restarted.
