Starting in BIND 9.5.0 there was a new statistics web server included, that is a useful debugging tool in a non-production environment. The HTTP server provides data in XML format about the condition of a BIND 9 server. The statistics server provides the same statistics that are available to the statistics-file dump. This server should be left disabled.
A production name server should not have additional, unnecessary services running, as the additional services increases the risk of vulnerabilities.
None noted.
Verify that there is NOT a statistics channel statement:
# grep statistics-channel $CONFIG_FILES
No output is expected and confirms that the HTTP service is not enabled.
Remove the statistics-channel option from the configuration file.
The HTTP server is disabled by default.
None listed.
