    CVE-2015-4620

    Summary: Updated bind package fixes security vulnerability

    Details: A recursive resolver that is performing DNSSEC validation can be deliberately terminated by any attacker who can cause a query to be performed against a maliciously constructed zone. This will result in a denial of service to clients who rely on that resolver (CVE-2015-4620). Note that DNSSEC validation is not enabled by default.
