ISC BIND 9.8.x through 9.8.4-P1 and 9.9.x through 9.9.2-P1, in certain configurations involving DNS64 with a Response Policy Zone that lacks an AAAA rewrite rule, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and named daemon exit) via a query for an AAAA record.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can crash the BIND named DNS service when a remote AAAA query reaches a narrow configuration: DNS64 plus an RPZ policy missing an AAAA rewrite rule. The business impact is DNS outage, not data theft, based on the supplied sources. Exposure is limited to organizations running the listed BIND 9.8 or 9.9 versions with DNS64 and a Response Policy Zone lacking an AAAA rewrite rule. General BIND deployments without that configuration are not shown as affected in the bundle. Treat as a targeted DNS availability risk. It warrants prompt attention for internet-facing or business-critical DNS resolvers, especially if DNS64 and RPZ are used. It is lower urgency where those features are absent. Mitigation focus: Review ISC advisory AA-00855 for supported fixed versions and configuration guidance.; Apply applicable ISC, Ubuntu, or Red Hat vendor updates for affected BIND packages.; Prioritize externally reachable recursive resolvers using DNS64 and RPZ..
