It includes one version update. Description: bind has been updated to version 9.9.6P1, fixing the following security issue: * A flaw in delegation handling could be exploited to put named into an infinite loop.

Additionally, two non-security issues have been fixed: * bnc#882511: Fix a multi-thread issue with IXFR. * bnc#743758: Fix handling of TXT records in ldapdump.
