Internet In Danger: Analysis of ISC Bind Patch (part 2) | Fortinet Blog

In this second part article, we analyze two recent vulnerabilities in ISC BIND identified as CVE-2016-1286 and CVE-2016-2088. Based on advisories, these bugs can be triggered using a malformed DNAME record (CVE-2016-1286) or an OPT COOKIE records (CVE-2016-2088).
These two bugs share the same attack scenario that can only be triggered when a BIND server makes a request and then receives a malformed response. Based on this requirement, recursive servers are at highest risk to this attack, because it’s not straightforward to ask an authoritative-only server to make a DNS request.
