Doc Text:
It was found that the lightweight resolver protocol implementation in BIND could enter an infinite recursion and crash when asked to resolve a query name which, when combined with a search list entry, exceeds the maximum allowable length. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash lwresd or named when using the "lwres" statement in named.conf.

Description Adam Mariš 2016-07-19 04:24:10 EDT
It was found that if the lightweight resolver is asked to resolve a query name which, when combined with a search list entry, exceeds the maximum allowable length, the server can terminate due to an error. If configured to use lwres lightweight resolver protocol accepting remote client connections, remote attacker can cause DoS by submitting large query.
