DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in ISC BIND, which can be exploited
by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the DNS64 IPv6
transition mechanism when handling certain queries, which can be
exploited to trigger a REQUIRE assertion and crash the server via a
specially crafted DNS query.

Successful exploitation requires that DNS64 is turned on.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 9.8.0 through 9.8.4 and
9.9.0 through 9.9.2.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 9.8.4-P1 or 9.9.2-P1.
