On September 27, the Internet Systems Consortium (ICS) announced the release of patches for a critical vulnerability that would allow attackers to launch denial-of-service (DoS) attacks using the Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) exploits. The critical error was discovered during internal testing by the ISC. BIND is a very popular open-source software component that implements DNS protocols. It is also known as the de facto standard for Linux and other Unix-based systems, which means a vulnerability can impact a vast amount or servers and applications. Emphasis is placed on the BIND vulnerability as it could lead to DoS attacks that could impact organizations by disabling, shutting down, or disrupting a service, network, or website. The effects of a DoS attack could range from financial loss and reputation damage to lawsuits and customer attrition.
