CVE-2015-8000
db.c in named in ISC BIND 9.x before 9.9.8-P2 and 9.10.x before 9.10.3-P2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (REQUIRE assertion failure and daemon exit) via a malformed class attribute.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 55.9%, higher than 99% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
