DENIAL OF SERVICE IN ISC'S BIND 9.0

The Internet Software Consortium (ISC) reported a Denial of Service
(DoS) condition in its BIND DNS software. This vulnerability stems from
a logic error that exists in BIND that lets remote attackers cause the
DNS server running BIND 9.0 to BIND 9.2.0 to fail, shut down, and
manually restart. ISC recommends that affected users either apply a
patch supplied by an OEM or upgrade immediately to BIND 9.2.1.
