CVE-2018-5737
A problem with the implementation of the new serve-stale feature in BIND 9.12 can lead to an assertion failure in rbtdb.c, even when stale-answer-enable is off. Additionally, problematic interaction between the serve-stale feature and NSEC aggressive negative caching can in some cases cause undesirable behavior from named, such as a recursion loop or excessive logging. Deliberate exploitation of this condition could cause operational problems depending on the particular manifestation -- either degradation or denial of service. Affects BIND 9.12.0 and 9.12.1.

Además, la interacción problemática entre la característica serve-stale y el cacheo negativo agresivo NSEC puede provocar en algunos casos un comportamiento no deseado en named, como un bucle de recursión o el registro excesivo. La explotación deliberada de esta condición podría provocar problemas operativos sobre la manifestación concreta, ya sea una degradación o una denegación de servicio (DoS). Afecta a BIND en versiones 9.12.0 y 9.12.1."
