   An update that solves one vulnerability and has two fixes
   is now available. It includes one version update.

Description:


   bind has been updated to version 9.9.6P1, fixing the following security
   issue:

       * A flaw in delegation handling could be exploited to put named into
         an infinite loop. This has been addressed by placing limits on the
         number of levels of recursion named will allow (default 7), and the
         number of iterative queries that it will send (default 50) before
         terminating a recursive query (CVE-2014-8500, bnc#908994).
       * The recursion depth limit is configured via the "max-recursion-depth"
         option, and the query limit via the "max-recursion-queries" option.

   Additionally, two non-security issues have been fixed:

       * bnc#882511: Fix a multi-thread issue with IXFR.
       * bnc#743758: Fix handling of TXT records in ldapdump.

   Security Issues:

       * CVE-2014-8500
