CVE-2012-4244: A specially crafted Resource Record could cause named
               to terminate

A nameserver can be caused to exit with a REQUIRE exception if it
can be induced to load a specially crafted resource record.

CVE: CVE-2012-4244
Document Version:          2.0
Posting date: 12 September 2012
Program Impacted: BIND
Versions affected:
   9.0.x -> 9.6.x, 9.4-ESV->9.4-ESV-R5-P1, 9.6-ESV->9.6-ESV-R7-P2,
   9.7.0->9.7.6-P2, 9.8.0->9.8.3-P2, 9.9.0->9.9.1-P2
Severity: Critical
Exploitable: Remotely

Description:

   If a record with RDATA in excess of 65535 bytes is loaded into
   a nameserver, a subsequent query for that record will cause named
   to exit with an assertion failure.

   Please Note: Versions of BIND 9.4 and 9.5 are also affected, but
   these branches are beyond their "end of life" (EOL) and no longer
   receive testing or security fixes from ISC. For current information
   on which versions are actively supported, please see
   http://www.isc.org/software/bind/versions.

Impact:

   This vulnerability can be exploited remotely against recursive
   servers by inducing them to query for records provided by an
   authoritative server. It affects authoritative servers if a zone
   containing this type of resource record is loaded from file or
   provided via zone transfer.
