Synopsis: Important: bind97 security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2014:1985-1
Issue Date: 2014-12-12
CVE Numbers: CVE-2014-8500
--

A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND followed DNS
delegations. A remote attacker could use a specially crafted zone
containing a large number of referrals which, when looked up and
processed, would cause named to use excessive amounts of memory or crash.
(CVE-2014-8500)

After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted
automatically.
