-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2002-0061 Package name: bind Summary: Minor security issue Date: 2002-07-15 Affected versions: TSL 1.1, 1.2, 1.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Problem description: From CERT Advisory CA-2002-19: "A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in multiple implementations of DNS resolver libraries. Operating systems and applications that utilize vulnerable DNS resolver libraries may be affected. A remote attacker who is able to send malicious DNS responses could potentially exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service on a vulnerable system." As the named daemon is not vulnerable to this problem, we don't consider this bug to be critical. Nevertheless we have chosen to upgrade. Action: We recommend that all systems with this package installed are upgraded. Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this package, you may want to remove it from your system.
