* A denial of service flaw was found in the way BIND handled responses
containing a DNAME answer. A remote attacker could use this flaw to make named
exit unexpectedly with an assertion failure via a specially crafted DNS
response. (CVE-2016-8864)

update your bind to last version
 
Looks like it only affects RH7/Centos7
Affected Products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 7)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 7)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server TUS (v. 7.3)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 7)
 
It does not seem to be an official bind update but more likely a red hat specific one.
