Exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition. Using unpatched software increases risks from viruses and other security threats, and attackers may target vulnerabilities for months or even years after patches are available.</p><p>Users and administrators are encouraged to review the <a href="https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01433">ISC Security Advisory</a> and apply the necessary updates.
