CVE-2012-5688
ISC BIND 9.8.x before 9.8.4-P1 and 9.9.x before 9.9.2-P1, when DNS64 is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a crafted query.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 10.9%, higher than 96% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
