CVE-2012-5689: BIND 9 with DNS64 enabled can unexpectedly terminate when resolving domains in RPZ

ISC BIND DNS 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.

Please check the ISC knowledgebase for further information (opens in new window).
