Slackware-11.0 ChangeLog (2006-11-07)

Mon Nov 6 21:29:24 CST 2006

patches/packages/bind-9.3.2_P2-i486-1_slack11.0.tgz:
Upgraded to bind-9.3.2-P2. This fixes some security issues related to
previous fixes in OpenSSL. The minimum OpenSSL version was raised to
OpenSSL 0.9.7l and OpenSSL 0.9.8d to avoid exposure to known security flaws
in older versions (these patches were already issued for Slackware). If you
have not upgraded yet, get those as well to prevent a potentially exploitable
security problem in named. In addition, the default RSA exponent was changed
from 3 to 65537. RSA keys using exponent 3 (which was previously BIND's
default) will need to be regenerated to protect against the forging
of RRSIGs.
