This document summarizes changes since BIND 9.10.4:
BIND 9.10.4-P2 addresses the security issue described in CVE-2016-2775.
BIND 9.10.4-P1 addresses Windows installation issues, the %z modifier is not supported under Windows and a race condition in the rbt/rbtdb implementation resulting in named exiting due to assertion failures being detected.
The latest versions of BIND 9 software can always be found at http://www.isc.org/downloads/. There you will find additional information about each release, source code, and pre-compiled versions for Microsoft Windows operating systems.
getrrsetbyname with a non absolute name could trigger an infinite recursion bug in lwresd and named with lwres configured if when combined with a search list entry the resulting name is too long. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2016-2775. [RT #42694]
Windows installs were failing due to triggering UAC without the installation binary being signed.
A race condition in rbt/rbtdb was leading to INSISTs being triggered.
The end of life for BIND 9.10 is yet to be determined but will not be before BIND 9.12.0 has been released for 6 months. https://www.isc.org/downloads/software-support-policy/
