DNS: ISC BIND db.c Assertion Failure Denial of Service
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against BIND DNS Service. The vulnerability is due to improper parsing of incoming responses, allowing malformed records to be accepted by BIND when they should not be accepted. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.
