Details
It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled rewriting certain query
responses when using both DNS64 and RPZ. A remote attacker could possibly
use this issue to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 16.10
Ubuntu 16.04
Ubuntu 14.04
Ubuntu 12.04
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
