    CVE-2015-8000

    Summary: Updated bind packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: An error in the parsing of incoming responses allows some records with an incorrect class to be accepted by BIND instead of being rejected as malformed. This can trigger a REQUIRE assertion failure when those records are subsequently cached. Intentional exploitation of this condition is possible and could be used as a denial-of-service vector against servers performing recursive queries (CVE-2015-8000).
