Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for systemd.

CVE-2017-9217[0]:
| systemd-resolved through 233 allows remote attackers to cause a denial
| of service (daemon crash) via a crafted DNS response with an empty
| question section.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

For further information see:

[3] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1040614

Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed. I think the
version in jessie should not be affected; unless I'm wrong (and then
please correct me) the resolved: DNS client stub resolver was only
introduced post v216, and the issue maybe even later (post v219). But
would be greatly appreciated if you can confirm that.

Regards,
Salvatore
