Synopsis:          Important: bind97 security update
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2016:1945-01
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL:      https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-1945.html

CVE Names:         CVE-2016-2776 
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An update for bind97 is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability
from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

3. Description:

The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain
Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named); a resolver
library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS); and
tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly.

Security Fix(es):

* A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND constructed a response
to a query that met certain criteria. A remote attacker could use this flaw
to make named exit unexpectedly with an assertion failure via a specially
crafted DNS request packet. (CVE-2016-2776)

Red Hat would like to thank ISC for reporting this issue.

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted
automatically.

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1378380 - CVE-2016-2776 bind: assertion failure in buffer.c while building responses to a specifically constructed request
