Title:	ISC BIND DoS Vulnerability (CVE-2020-8618) - Linux
Summary:	ISC BIND is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.
Description:	Summary: ISC BIND is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: An assertion check in BIND (that is meant to prevent going beyond the end of a buffer when processing incoming data) can be incorrectly triggered by a large response during zone transfer. Vulnerability Impact: An attacker who is permitted to send zone data to a server via zone transfer can exploit this to intentionally trigger the assertion failure with a specially constructed zone, denying service to clients. Affected Software/OS: BIND 9.16.0 through 9.16.3. Solution: Update to version 9.16.4 or later. CVSS Score: 4.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:P
