1. Summary:

An update for bind is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2
Advanced Update Support.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability

3. Description:

The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain
Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named); a resolver
library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS); and
tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly.

Security Fix(es):

* A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND parsed signature
records for DNAME records. By sending a specially crafted query, a remote
attacker could use this flaw to cause named to crash. (CVE-2016-1286)

* A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND processed certain
control channel input. A remote attacker able to send a malformed packet to
the control channel could use this flaw to cause named to crash.
(CVE-2016-1285)

Red Hat would like to thank ISC for reporting these issues.

4. Solution:

described in this advisory, refer to:
