SRX Series: ISC BIND vulnerability denial of service in delegation handling (CVE-2014-8500)

ISC BIND software included with Junos for SRX series devices is affected by CVE-2014-8500. This may allow a network based attacker to cause a denial of service condition on SRX devices.
This issue only affects SRX devices where "set system services dns dns-proxy" has been configured. This is not enabled by default on SRX devices.
This issue does not affect other Junos OS based devices as they do not have BIND DNS server feature.
Juniper SIRT is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability.
This issue has been assigned CVE-2014-8500.
