Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind9' package(s) announced via the DLA-2227-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Several vulnerabilities were discovered in BIND, a DNS server implementation. CVE-2020-8616 It was discovered that BIND does not sufficiently limit the number of fetches performed when processing referrals. An attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service (performance degradation) or use the recursing server in a reflection attack with a high amplification factor. CVE-2020-8617 It was discovered that a logic error in the code which checks TSIG validity can be used to trigger an assertion failure, resulting in denial of service. Affected Software/OS: 'bind9' package(s) on Debian Linux. Solution: For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9+deb8u19. We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages. CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
