recursive DNS functionality, is vulnerable to a buffer overflow.
2) The remote BIND server is vulnerable to a denial of service (crash)
via SIG RR elements with invalid expiry times.

When a DNS lookup is requested on a non-existent sub-domain of
a valid domain and an OPT resource record with a large UDP
