Security ERRATA Important: bind on SL5.x, SL6.x i386/x86_64 |
11-19-2011 |
Scientific Linux alert SL-bind-20111117 (bind)
The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named); a resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly.
A flaw was discovered in the way BIND handled certain DNS queries, which caused it to cache an invalid record. A remote attacker could use this
flaw to send repeated queries for this invalid record, causing the resolvers to exit unexpectedly due to a failed assertion. (CVE-2011-4313)
Users of bind are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue. After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted automatically |
