CVE-2006-4096 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. BIND before 9.2.6-P1 and 9.3.x before 9.3.2-P1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a flood of recursive queries, which cause an INSIST failure when the response is received after the recursion queue is empty.. EPSS estimates a 8.68% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
