What is CVE-2016-1285?

A vulnerability exists in ISC BIND 9.x prior to version 9.9.8-P4 and in version 9.10.x prior to 9.10.3-P4, where DNAME records are not properly processed when handling fetch reply messages. This flaw enables remote attackers to disrupt service, which may cause assertion failures and result in the BIND daemon exiting unexpectedly. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a malformed packet to the rndc control channel interface, instigating a denial of service scenario through manipulation of affected components within the software.
