A flaw in delegation handling could be exploited to put
<command>named</command> into an infinite loop, in which
each lookup of a name server triggered additional lookups
of more name servers. This has been addressed by placing
limits on the number of levels of recursion
<command>named</command> will allow (default 7), and
on the number of queries that it will send before
terminating a recursive query (default 50).
</para>
<para>
The recursion depth limit is configured via the
<option>max-recursion-depth</option> option, and the query limit
via the <option>max-recursion-queries</option> option.

<para>
The flaw was discovered by Florian Maury of ANSSI, and is
disclosed in CVE-2014-8500. [RT #37580]

Two separate problems were identified in BIND's GeoIP code that
could lead to an assertion failure. One was triggered by use of
both IPv4 and IPv6 address families, the other by referencing
a GeoIP database in <filename>named.conf</filename> which was
not installed. Both are covered by CVE-2014-8680. [RT #37672]
[RT #37679]
</para>
<para>
A less serious security flaw was also found in GeoIP: changes
to the <command>geoip-directory</command> option in
<filename>named.conf</filename> were ignored when running
<command>rndc reconfig</command>. In theory, this could allow
<command>named</command> to allow access to unintended clients.
