CVE ID         : CVE-2020-8616 CVE-2020-8617


Several vulnerabilities were discovered in BIND, a DNS server 
implementation.

CVE-2020-8616

     It was discovered that BIND does not sufficiently limit the number
     of fetches performed when processing referrals. An attacker can take
     advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service (performance
     degradation) or use the recursing server in a reflection attack with
     a high amplification factor.

CVE-2020-8617

     It was discovered that a logic error in the code which checks TSIG
     validity can be used to trigger an assertion failure, resulting in
     denial of service.


For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u19.

We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages.
