Interpretation and response

BIND logged an event associated with the denial-of-service condition named CVE-2011-4313 in the current rule description. Confirm the BIND version, accompanying errors and service health.

An OSSEC/HIDS event records or correlates activity. Blocking depends on the originating application and any separately configured Active Response policy; an alert alone does not prove that an attack was blocked.

The older generic query-denial explanation does not describe this current definition. An alert does not establish exploitation or remediation.
