QID Detection Logic:
This unauthenticated check detects vulnerable systems by fetching the version information from the BIND service.

A successful attack exploiting this flaw causes a named resolver to spend most of its CPU time on managing and checking the lame cache.

  • CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 5 severity.
  • Solution
    Customers are advised to upgrade to the patched version latest release of ISC BIND.
