named in ISC BIND 9.x before 9.9.9-P5, 9.10.x before 9.10.4-P5, and 9.11.x before 9.11.0-P2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a malformed response to an RTYPE ANY query.
CVE-2016-9131
Score elevated to 7.8 because EPSS predicts 41% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 1.5% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 7.5 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
