CVE-2012-4244
ISC BIND 9.x before 9.7.6-P3, 9.8.x before 9.8.3-P3, 9.9.x before 9.9.1-P3, and 9.4-ESV and 9.6-ESV before 9.6-ESV-R7-P3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and named daemon exit) via a query for a long resource record.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 35.2%, higher than 98% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
