BIND 9.16.33
BIND 9.18.7
BIND 9.19.5
BIND 9.16.33-S1

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

Successfully exploitation could affects integrity, availability, confidentiality

  • CVSS V3 rated as High - 7.5 severity.
  • CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 5 severity.
  • Solution
    Customers are advised to upgrade to the patched version 9.16.33, 9.18.7, 9.19.5, 9.16.33-S1 or latest release of ISC BIND.
