Scroller Opensuse
A new release for openSUSE bind has been issued, targeting remote denial of service vulnerabilities along with associated security weaknesses.
An update that fixes three vulnerabilities is now available

Description

bind was updated to fix one security issue.

This security issue was fixed:

- CVE-2015-5477: Remote DoS via TKEY queries (boo#939567)

Exposure to this issue can not be prevented by either ACLs or

configuration options limiting or denying service because the exploitable

code occurs early in the packet handling.
