Category:Debian Local Security Checks

Summary:The remote host is missing an update to bind9;announced via advisory DSA 2547-1.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to bind9
announced via advisory DSA 2547-1.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that BIND, a DNS server, does not handle DNS records
properly which approach size limits inherent to the DNS protocol. An
attacker could use crafted DNS records to crash the BIND server
process, leading to a denial of service.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1~
squeeze7.

Solution:
We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages.
