ISC BIND 9.8.x before 9.8.4-P1 and 9.9.x before 9.9.2-P1, when DNS64 is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a crafted query.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a remote crash issue in ISC BIND when DNS64 is enabled. A crafted DNS query can make the BIND daemon exit, interrupting DNS service. The exposure is narrower than a default BIND flaw because DNS64 must be in use. Organizations running affected BIND 9.8.x or 9.9.x builds with DNS64 enabled are potentially exposed. Public-facing recursive DNS infrastructure would carry higher operational impact if the daemon exits. Treat this as an operational resilience issue for DNS services. Prioritize patching where affected BIND versions and DNS64 are both present, especially on internet-facing resolvers. Mitigation focus: Upgrade BIND to 9.8.4-P1, 9.9.2-P1, or later vendor-supported packages.; Apply relevant distribution updates from Red Hat, Slackware, Ubuntu, Apple, or ISC guidance.; If DNS64 is unnecessary, evaluate disabling it according to vendor operational guidance..
