  • patches/packages/bind-9.4_ESV_R5-i486-1_slack12.0.tgz
    This BIND update addresses a couple of security issues:
    * named, set up to be a caching resolver, is vulnerable to a user
    querying a domain with very large resource record sets (RRSets)
    when trying to negatively cache the response. Due to an off-by-one
    error, caching the response could cause named to crash. [RT #24650]
    [CVE-2011-1910]
    * Change #2912 (see CHANGES) exposed a latent bug in the DNS message
    processing code that could allow certain UPDATE requests to crash
    named. [RT #24777] [CVE-2011-2464]
    For more information, see:
