Package : bind9
CVE ID : CVE-2016-1285 CVE-2016-1286

Two vulnerabilites have been discovered in ISC's BIND DNS server.

CVE-2016-1285

A maliciously crafted rdnc, a way to remotely administer a BIND server,
operation can cause named to crash, resulting in denial of service.

CVE-2016-1286

An error parsing DNAME resource records can cause named to crash,
resulting in denial of service.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed
in version 9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu2+deb7u10.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u6.

For the testing (stretch) and unstable (sid) distributions, these
problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages.
