Vulnerability  : denial of service
Problem type   : remote

Debian Bug     : 717936

Maxim Shudrak and the HP Zero Day Initiative reported a denial of

that includes malformed rdata can cause named daemon to terminate with
an assertion failure while rejecting the malformed query.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1~squeeze11.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in

We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages.
