Oracle Linux: CVE-2020-8619: ELSA-2020-4500: bind security, bug fix, and enhancement update (MODERATE)

In ISC BIND9 versions BIND 9.11.14 -> 9.11.19, BIND 9.14.9 -> 9.14.12, BIND 9.16.0 -> 9.16.3, BIND Supported Preview Edition 9.11.14-S1 -> 9.11.19-S1: Unless a nameserver is providing authoritative service for one or more zones and at least one zone contains an empty non-terminal entry containing an asterisk ("*") character, this defect cannot be encountered. A would-be attacker who is allowed to change zone content could theoretically introduce such a record in order to exploit this condition to cause denial of service, though we consider the use of this vector unlikely because any such attack would require a significant privilege level and be easily traceable.
A flaw was found in bind when an asterisk character is present in an empty non-terminal location within the DNS graph. This flaw could trigger an assertion failure, causing bind to crash. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
